Society getting cross somewhere in Surrey (9)
I believe the answer is:
guildford
'somewhere in surrey' is the definition.
(I know that Guildford capital of Surrey)
'society getting cross' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 'guild' (synonyms).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'cross' becomes 'ford' (to ford a stream is to cross it).
'guild'+'ford'='GUILDFORD'
(Other definitions for guildford that I've seen before include "City in Surrey" , "County town of Surrey" .)
