More about this scene
In the days when the village had two MPs (before the Reform Act of 1832), election day was something to behold. Even though barely a dozen people were eligible to vote, the inns set their barrels out on the street, and it is said that 'the Bletchingley cobbles ran with beer'. The two buildings in the centre of this photograph no longer exist.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember as a child riding through the bridleways to get to the forge to have our horses shod.
The farriers didn't have the ability to come out and shoe your horse then so you had to take the horse to the forge !!! We had great fun eating our lunches whilst waiting for the farrier to shoe.
Max Michaelis lived in Tandridge Court and was well known for breeding Shire Horses.
He had Brook Farm built in 1903 to actually house his stallions and breeding stock.
He also held agricultural shows on his land for the local community - flowers, fruit and vegetables as well as stock and horses.
He had a very successful showing career with his horses
