It is a shame that Shubee the clothes shop in the High Street has closed. It is always fantastic when a shop like this opens in Dorking. It was for young people with bright, trendy, casual clothing. Just when this market appeared to be catered for at last...

Part of the problem could have been location, shops in that area of the town have a harder job of being noticed and, in the case of Shubee, have the disadvantage of being underneath the overhanging first floor of the building, which gives them a 'set back' appearance.

Now we have two units next door to each other now empty, with not much chance of them being occupied in the near future. More proof that the rental values are way too high in Dorking!
