Previously we looked at the history of Reigate …

But The Planet Reigate Podcast area has other towns and villages in its orbit, and that’s what we’re looking at in this second pre-launch episode.

Hear about The Battle of Red Hill, Redhill's original train problems and why it wasn't the best place to build a town. Plus, the local village green where WG Grace is said to have played cricket, the local castle bought for just £1, and the legend of the Buckland Shag. (It's a monster...)
