"Sandells", Reigate Heath. 1884. The Architect. "The house shown in the accompanying sketch perspective view has been recently built from designs by Messrs. Clayton & Black, of Brighton. It possesses one feature of interest as one of the few country houses entirely lighted by electricity (so far as artificial light is concerned), the supply being generated during the day time, and stored in accumulators for use at night. The stables, etc, are lighted in the same way, the whole of the machinery being easily managed by ordinary servants under direction of the owner, who himself arranged the details of the lighting system. Although the house is within reach of the gas service of a local company, it appears that the cost of the electric light is very little in excess of the price of gas, while the advantages of cleanliness, clearness, and purity are obtained." Redhill Common. 1884. Unknown publisher. From London & County Banking Company Limited, Redhill. To Horley, July 3rd 1884.
