About Fencing in Dorking
Dorking in Surrey sits beneath Box Hill, a popular leisure destination since the seventeenth century, named for the ancient box woodland covering its steep chalk slopes above the River Mole. The hill has drawn day trippers since the railway arrived in the mid nineteenth century, with 14,000 people once recorded arriving at Box Hill station on a single day in 1947, and its literary fame was cemented when Jane Austen used it as the setting for a key scene in her novel Emma.
