Leatherhead is a medium-sized town in Surrey, England, on the River Mole. It is thought to be of Saxon origin.
Located in the north of the County of Surrey just south of the Greater London boundary, the town was a focus for passenger transport throughout its history. From the construction of the bridge over the River Mole in the early medieval period, to the days of the Swan Hotel that for 300 years provided services to horse driven coaches, to the building of the M25 motorway, travel and transport has continued to dominate the form and function of Leatherhead.
History
Saxon-Norman & Medieval
The origins of the town of Leatherhead appear to be Anglo-Saxon. The Leatherhead Museum has traced the history of the town from its beginnings in about 880 AD when it was known as Leodridan, (later in the Domesday Book as Leddrede) - believed to have meant the place where people can ride across the river. The early town population appears to have grown up on the east side of the River Mole, although Hawks Hill, on the west side of the river, is said to be the site of an old Saxon burial ground.
