The Surrey Industrial History Group has now produced guides to each of the administrative districts of the county. This guide to Elmbridge is a revised edition of the earlier book written by the late Rowland G M Baker shortly before he died in 1987 and we acknowledge the help given by his work. Elmbridge Borough, like the other boroughs and districts in Surrey, was formed at the reorganisation of local government in 1974 when the Urban District of Walton and Weybridge merged with that of Esher.

Surrey and the Motor

Submitted by gbrooks on

There is more to historic Surrey in an industrial and transport sense than a first glance would suggest.  We have had  no major volume car or commercial vehicle manufacturer, but we have had over 100 different makes of car produced in the county at one time or another. Some of these progressed no further than a single prototype, others became small volume specialist manufacturers. Some of the more important ones are given detailed coverage in the book, an A to Z appendix briefly describes the rest.
