The A24: Mickleham's Old London Road and the Mickleham Bypass
St Michael and All Angels Church, Old London Road, Mickleham, Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6DU
By the early 1930s traffic through the tiny village of Mickleham had become very congested and the decision was made to build a bypass - one of the first in the country. Several schemes were proposed. Work involved the acquisition of land (including the village's cricket ground), filling in a large swallow hole, new roads and bridges. The display will include the local history group's archive of documents and illustrations of the road and its users throughout the years including accounts of the time when the Mickleham Bypass became a huge 'car park' to store equipment and vehicles in preparation for D-Day.
