OVER THE OTHER BRIDGE
by Goff Powell & Brian Hennegan
Memories of
two Leatherhead lads –
from The Rising Sun
over the Town Bridge to the Crossroads
In 2009 the Leatherhead &
District Local History Society published a book by Brian
Hennegan entitled Over the
Bridge which was followed by a further book Over
the Bridge, the Southern Side, by Brian Hennegan and
Goff Powell. Both authors felt that it would be fitting to
write another book about Leatherhead to complete a ‘Bridge
Trilogy’.
The two previous books had featured the Kingston Road railway bridge in their title.
This third book still follows ‘The Bridge’ theme but now the bridge in question is the Town Bridge at Leatherhead over the River Mole, at the foot of Bridge Street. The book begins at the site of The Rising Sun public house and travels up Bridge Street to the Crossroads in the town centre.
The authors hope that they have been successful weaving a path through the years and that the book will provide the reader with an enjoyable glimpse into the past and resurrect many latent memories.
