Market House, Dorking

Photograph at the Market House, Dorking white plaque

THE WHITE HORSE AND CATTLE MARKET Established as a posting inn in the mid-18th century to take advantage of the new turnpike road through Dorking. Until 1926 the livestock market was held in the wide road in front. The market house, built in 1597, stood to the west in front of the large gabled house called the Dutch House, but was demolished in 1811.
