Flower Delivery Leatherhead

Flowers Delivered In Leatherhead

Unless you already know its origins, you might be unlikely to guess the derivation of the name 'Leatherhead'. It probably originates from Leodridan, meaning a place where the river could be crossed - and its position on the River Mole supports this claim. Some people argue in favour of Llwyd-rhyd or 'grey ford' being the original name, but either way the river-crossing definition fits. Leatherhead Town Bridge and Bridge Street continue to show the importance of the location, and much of the flower delivery Leatherhead customers receive will have crossed either the Mole or the Wey en route to its destination.

It's not just about getting over the river though - Mole Gap is a cutting that runs through the North Downs from north to south, providing an easy route through the area, and as well as the natural course of the River Mole, it is also used by the London to Dorking railway and the A24 for road traffic - which again is a likely route for the flower delivery Leatherhead customers receive.
