Poland House
Old people's home started in the 1950s. The will of Sidney Michael Poland, who lived in Betchworth Manor, stated that the house and grounds should be used as an old people's home for residents of Brockham. However, on the death of his sister in the 1950s, it was found that Brockham Manor was unsuitable and it was demolished, with a number of houses built on the grounds, but with the largest plot retained to provide a purpose built home, named after its original benefactor.
