"My New Home Town" Leatherhead by zuriga

Surrey Hills

Deep in the heart of the Surrey Hills lies my new home.. Leatherhead. The River Mole runs through this perfect, English village... what a place to walk each day. The river got its name because of how it tunnels underground between Leatherhead and Dorking.*

Your photos & commentaries to Leatherhead are particularly pleasant. I guess it's the richest part of the country, so the establishment can afford to keep budget shopping centres, council housing, yob culture at arms' length. Enjoy it!

Interesting Leatherhead page. I was there for a business meeting a few years ago, but did not see much of the town. I should spent more time exploring it!

That's amazing; I was looking at your Leatherhead place while you wrote that! I like the Fire and Iron Gallery there. Have you been?
