A24 in the Mole Gap
At the expense of some sharp bends, the road manages to stay on the east side of the River Mole until the bridge near Dorking. This carriageway has been reduced to one lane because of these bends and the several side turnings.

South portal, Mickleham Tunnel
The south portal of Mickleham Tunnel on the Dorking to Leatherhead railway. Opened in 1867, the tunnel is 524 yards long and goes under a spur of the North Downs in Norbury Park. The owner of Norbury Park at the time, Thomas Grissell, imposed various conditions on the railway, and this included the special architectural treatment of the portal here.

House at a Rail Crossing
A footpath crosses the tracks just here. The house looks like it might have been a crossing keepers residence at one time?

Swanworth Lane, Mickleham
Before the coming of the A24 Mickleham by-pass, in the mid 1930's, this lane must have been the route from Swanworth Farm to the old London road, joining it near Mickleham church. The view here is west, towards the A24 dual-carriageway, just visible about 150m ahead. Swanworth Farm lies on the far side of the main road, so that this stretch of Swanworth Lane has become a backwater - and a pleasant walking route. Visible between the trees on the right are the playing fields of Boxhill School.
For the view eastward, toward the village, from about the same spot, see Derek Harper's Image - taken about a year earlier.
