Leatherhead
Leatherhead is a town in Surrey, England on the right bank of the river Mole, and at the edge of the adjoining built-up area of London. The town covers a total area of around 4.84 square miles. Its regional district is Mole Valley. Records exist of the region from Anglo Saxon England. Just north-east of the midpoint of Surrey and at a junction of ancient north-- south and east-- west roads, parts of the town have been a focus for transport throughout its history. A key early spur to this was the construction of the bridge over the seasonally accessible River Mole in the early medieval time period. Later On the Swan Hotel provided 300 years of service to horse-drawn coaches. In the late 20th century the M25 motorway was built nearby. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11316 people. The town has re-developed occasionally through changing financial requirements and planning. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Mole Valley District Council made strategies to modernise the town, with a new pedestrianised high street and a large one-way system. It has a merged theatre and cinema. Leatherhead's various business facilities produce lunchtime demand and its eateries and theatre reel in people from across Surrey. The undulating streetscape lends itself more to warm summertime evenings. The theatre (see below) is a movie theatre plus has art exhibits. The bypass streets to the town centre close and feature annually in the London-Surrey cycle classic which is ranked by the world's cycling federation. For all of your home refurbishments, make sure to identify respected contractors in Leatherhead to make certain of quality.
