About Dorking
Dorking is a market town in Surrey in South East England, about 34 km (21 mi) south of London. It is in Mole Valley District and the council headquarters are to the east of the centre. The town may have been the site of a staging post on Stane Street during Roman times. The name ‘Dorking’ suggests an Anglo-Saxon origin for the modern settlement. A market is thought to have been held at least weekly since medieval times and was highly regarded for the poultry traded there.
