Railway Viaduct and Peel House

The building on the left is 'Peel House' and was one of the first police stations in Surrey. It dates to the 1850's (Surrey's police force had been founded in 1851).  I understand that the building had initially been a single storey lock-up but was extended upwards to provide accommodation.
