Salfords ) is a village in the borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey, England. It lies approximately south of Redhill on the A23 London to Brighton road. The village is within the civil parish of Salfords and Sidlow which covers a population of 3,069, and has a parish council.
==Toponymy== The earliest written record of the village is from the assizes roll of 1279, in which a "Stephen de Salford" is mentioned as a resident. It appears in later documents as Salfordebrugg (1316), Saleford (1355) and Sallforde (1535). The first part is thought to derive from the Old English sealh, meaning willow, and the name is generally agreed to mean "ford by the willow tree(s)".
