from the August 2006 Newsletter of the Leatherhead & District Local History Society
THE INNS AND PUBLIC HOUSES OF LEATHERHEAD AND DISTRICT
by Goff Powell. ISBN 0-9552785-0-3; 80pp; £5.50
| This is the latest book
        published by the Leatherhead and District Local History
        Society. It is now on sale in local bookshops and in our
        museum. Many of you will remember that Goff gave a talk
        after the AGM of 2005 on this subject, illustrated by
        many photographs from his collection. This book is based
        on some of the material used in the talk but it has been
        greatly expanded. It describes the licensed premises of
        Ashtead, Bookham, Effingham, Fetcham, Headley, Mickleham
        and Leatherhead, both those still existing as well as
        those which have ceased to trade. The book is a useful
        record of one aspect of our area and we hope that members
        will support the Society by purchasing copies. It will be
        of interest to know who among our membership knew of all
        the pubs and inns described. It is not too early to get
        Christmas presents for people who have left the area, or
        even those who have stayed in it. |  |
