The Farrington family of Reigate were the Lime Merchants that owned and worked the Lime Kilns at Reigate. The business was established by Benjamin Farrington my Great great Grandfather one hundred before Frederick Price Farrington (Alderman of Reigate 1889-1911) finally took it over until his death in 1927. The family lived at the Lime works on Reigate Hill, many of the children later lived in Nutley Lane.

RE: RE: Farrington's of Reigate

I wonder where on Reigate these kilns where located.

Does the dwelling house still exist?

Are there any signs of the kilns visible today?
