The Curious Case Of The Missing Tickner Plaque In Dorking High Street
A Memory of Dorking.
I am trying to find out about my Tickner ancestors who lived in Dorking in the 1700s. In the 1970s a cousin remembers seeing a plaque on a building in the high street that read , 'Thomas Ticker coachbuilder ' and there was a date in the 1700's he can't remember what it was exactly. This plaque referred to my ancestor.
Where has this plaque gone? Does anyone remember it? The museum and record office can't help. It is a mystery.
I know my great great gran Mary Tickner ( nee Penfold) owned numbers 63 and 64 the High Street, which at that time were near 'The Ram' pub, now gone. So the plaque may have been in that region. I hope someone can help...
