This image is actually taken from Deepcut Bridge Road, around the junction of Woodend Road, with the barracks away to the left. Blackdown Road is a few hundred yards behind the photographer here. The shops in view are now a hairdressers, and fast food places!

Would anyone have a photo of 29 Station Road, Frimley? If it's still standing, that is. I was born there in 1951. I'm now a resident of Australia and would like to see it. If you can help, please send to qp2742@yahoo.com.au
Many thanks.
Ian.

Surrey memories
Burrow Hill School is now derelict. It closed in 1998 and I have just walked past the boarded-up site this afternoon. Although I have lived in Frimley Green since 1993 and seen one of its main buildings from within a housing estate at the bottom of the hill, I have never known what that building was. Entry into the school is... [more]

Extracts From Frimley & Surrey books

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
Today Frimley is very much absorbed into the town of Camberley, while this particular corner is a busy road junction. Frimley's most famous son is now without doubt the Rugby Union World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson, who was born here in 1979.

At the other end of Frimley High Street, we cross the River Blackwater, which is the boundary between Surrey and Hampshire. Near to this bridge in 1860, a fight took place that has gone down in the history of boxing as one of the important fights of the century. It was a bare-knuckle fight between Tom Sayer, from England, and John Heenan, the American. After 42... [more]
