White Hart Lock
I believe this to be the White Hart Lock at New Haw situated at the junction of Woodham Lane and the turning off over the White Hart bridge which led to Byfleet station. I do believe also that the cottage featured in a film, which I think was War Of The Worlds. As youngsters we often took a short cut off the Byfleet Road to cut through to what we called the Nine Arches, passing under this structure we would in the summer go swimming and hopefully meet girls. This area was also close to the banked corners of Brooklands Race Track.

RE: RE: White Hart Lock
Yes, that's the White Hart Lock and bridge. If you walk up to the bridge from where this pic was taken and turn right you're in Byfleet Road going along that very straight road towards Byfleet and New Haw Station (formerly West Weybridge Station) . If you turn left at the end of the canal tow path and over the bridge and turn right you're in New Haw Road (where I lived till 1967). If you go over the bridge and turn left you're in Woodham Lane. About a quarter of a mile up Woodham Lane on the right hand side used to stand New Haw Middle School (now Marshall Place). I attended that school from 1958 till 1963. Does anyone have any photos taken at that school please? Especially photos of that old fire engine that was delivered to the school around 1962/63?
