Dorking Cockerel by David Burton

Dorking is truly proud of the famous 'Dorking Cock', a special and rare breed of chicken recognised across the world. Often known as 'the five-claw'd-un', a reference to the breed's particular distinguishing feature, the cock has become recognised as the town's symbol. Depictions can be seen throughout the town, most strikingly, a 10ft high silver cockerel that has graced the Deepdene roundabout since 2007.
