These are labelled Burbach and Tunbridge, which branched off at Redhill, opened so were presumably made by the Burbach Iron and its station in 1842. Their station was at the bottom Steelworks. It seems to me likely the Redhill of Redstone Hill about half a mile from the other pillars are the remains of the original station on station.

Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.
