Leatherhead Bridge (or Town Bridge) over the River Mole has medieval origins and was rebuilt and enlarged in the 1780s. Grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1028646. Seen here with the river in flood after a period of heavy rain brought by Storm Dennis, falling on ground already saturated from Storm Ciara a week earlier - compare Image for more normal conditions, with water level data suggesting a difference between the two dates of over 2.2m.
