Serviced office building on Guildford Road, built around 2007 on a former Seeboard electricity company depot.

High water levels on the River Mole, seen from Leatherhead Bridge.

Flooding on Guildford Road near its junction with Waterway Road, seen in the background. This had arisen from high water levels on the River Mole after a period of heavy rain brought by Storm Dennis, falling on ground already saturated from Storm Ciara a week earlier. Some vehicles were able to make it through the flood, but not the Mercedes stranded near the junction.

Office block built in the grounds of what was until 1998, the site of a large house called Fetcham Grove, originally dating from at least the 18th Century. Originally a private house, for many years this had been occupied by the intriguingly named Green Domino Hotel & Restaurant until closure in the 1940s, after which it was used by a removals firm as a depository.

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.

The River Mole is much higher than usual and the waterside paths are flooded. The fourteen arch bridge is a grade II listed building, dated 1784, thought to be a rebuild of an earlier bridge.

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.

The upstream side of Leatherhead Bridge. Normally there are islands here on which the trees grow.

There are four bridges across the Mole within this grid-square. Town Bridge is the furthest upstream, and is the oldest of the four, dating from the 18th century in its present form.

Grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1028646. Low water levels revealed what would appear to be a line of stepping stones, although I have found no reference to them elsewhere.
