The local history centre exists to encourage interest in local and family history in Horley, Burstow, Charlwood, Horne, Salfords and Smallfield.
We offer an extensive range of resources including census records, parish registers, large scale maps and directories.
We provide a microfilm and microfiche reader-printer and there is access to the internet on the library computer terminals.
If we can't answer your question, we can refer you to local experts or Surrey History Centre. When the centre is not staffed you can leave a written enquiry.
