Redhill, Surrey Stuff You Don't Get Anywhere Else

The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• The town has a distinct aroma of disrespectful youngsters and kebabs.
• please someone contact me on Mar_Ush@hotmail.co.uk i desperately need to know all of the questions i asked.
• A recent redecorating of the town centre means they've gotten rid of the stupid permanent stain of red, but now its a stupid permanent of silver. Now it looks like what people in the 50's thought the year 2000 would look like, i guess they were right.
• redhill is definately lifeless.
• just best avoided
• Redhill is also known (by those who have been there) as "RED HOLE" REDHELL" and "RATHILL"
• The security guards smokers convention out side Quadrant House, next to the Bus Station, give em a wave as you drive past.
• Never admit you were born in Redhill, like me, unless you're proud. Or, you've moved to Florida with your new missus, like me! A shout out goes to the Billage People... I love ma boyz, I miss ya.
• a strange phenomenon that i've not noticed elsewhere, female's can have a nostril pierced & male's an eyebrow, _BUT_ should one have any other facial piercing the locals get aggressive, very peculiar.
• if i see another slipknot tshirt i'm going to have to kill myself.
• www.knowere.co.uk featured in local paper recently - head line 'You've got h@te mail'

• Redhill is the poor relation to Reigate. In their infinite wisdom, architects in Redhill decide to pull down beautiful Victorian buildings and build concrete offices instead.
• No ladies of ill repute in the town, due to the absolute boredom
• No ladies of ill repute in the town, due to the absolute boredom
• Everything in Redhill is an eerie shade of crimson red. Every building, every sign, even the damn roads have some kind of red on them. Also the same guy that designed the circular signs must have also been responsible for the train station and the Quad-something house.
• I have lived here all my life (20 years) so as far as I'm concerned I own this town. If anyone wishes to take me up on that issue then I hang out outside the kebab van in marketfield car park...
• More traffic calming and sleeping policemen (road type) than anywhere else in the world. Redhill is test centre for how to slow the traffic down and bugger up your journey to work.
• That's just it. There is nothing worth saying about Redhill.
• I'm buggering off to Stevenage 'cos I made a packet selling my house. On that note,Woodlands Estate Agents rock!!!Mann & co suck.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
