Default Merstham/Redhill interesting relics

My travels this week took me to this scruffy part of the world:

....but if you travel along Trowers Way to the Quarryside Business Park
via the railway bridge there are some fabulous evocative old railway
paraphernalia, steel level crossing gates, tracks meandering along the
roads and under bridges.

It looks like the whole lot is going to be bulldozed soon but I hope
not, a quick look round today's docklands shows that yesterday's
eyesore is tomorrow's interesting object.

Does anyone know the history of this railyard? Does anyone know if
what's left will be preserved?

I notice the tramlines outside Feltham Tramshed have finally been
filled in or dug up. That is a great shame, my interest in trams
started from wondering WTF those rail lines we doing in the middle of
Teddington
