'in this town is a great plenty of cherries, particularly a wild cherry that Mr John Evelyn tells me, it makes a most excellent wine, little inferior to the best French claret, and keeps longer; and no where are finer Caves for the Preservation of their Liquor than in the Sand here'.

I am trying to find out about my Tickner ancestors who lived in Dorking in the 1700s. In the 1970s a cousin remembers seeing a plaque on a building in the high street that read , 'Thomas Ticker coachbuilder ' and there was a date in the 1700's he can't remember what it was exactly. This plaque referred to my ancestor.
Where has this plaque gone? Does anyone remember ...see more
Great looking at the old photos of Dorking town . I remember many of the old shops and some pubs from when I was younger, think my favourite at that time was track and groove at the top end of west street and the chippy opposite. I remember the old Tesco and the market entrance ,there used to be a guy there preaching the bible cant remember his name, also going back way before my time does anyone know what was in the high street before boots was there?
My father, Harry Day, was gardener at the house when the Case family lived there. As a small child I remember the huge Christmas Tree in the palatial hall. The beautiful cedar tree in the middle of the lawn and the old potting shed.
I was wondering if anyone out there remembers the bakery in capel Surrey ?Were the last owners called Christmas or was there another owner after them ? I've lived in capel all my life ,56 years. Steve redford
