Leatherhead, High Street 1948

More about this scene
Leatherhead is, like Dorking, a town on the River Mole, but it has suffered much architectural loss in recent years. Attempts to make amends include pedestrianising the High Street, but many of the buildings seen in this view, particularly on the left- hand side, have gone, including the 1880s Barclays Bank, which is now a building at the entrance to the 1980s Swan Shopping Centre. Further along, also on the left, is Cradle's House, a 14th-century hall house, which has recently been restored, a sad reminder of what the town has lost.
