If you are passing through the area with some time on your hands, get in touch, and we can oblige with a trip to one of the mines in the district.
There is quite a good book on this area, which I've got somewhere "Kent and East Sussex underground"

Yes it is a good book, published by Kent Underground Research Group, but it doesn't cover Surrey!
No Potash mines, but there was coal, and the gypsum mine was probably Brightling. Did you get driven around it in a Landrover?
