More about this scene
In the 19th century, this area south of Dorking was a wild and dangerous part of Surrey, where highwaymen pursued their villainous trade and smugglers transported their contraband goods at night along the wooded tracks. The line of pollarded trees to the right may have provided the raw material for one of the lawful activities in this area: the manufacture of walking sticks.
