Frimley, Blackdown Road 1908
Ref: 59643
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!

Frimley, Station Road 1921
Ref: 69921a
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.

Frimley, the Grove 1921
Ref: 69922
My father was born in Frimley and lived at No 8 The Grove till he married and moved to Dartford, then Wastwater and finally emigrated to South Africa after the Second World War. I visited my late grandparents, Mr H H Finch and Mrs B E Finch, in the early 1970s and had a really good time, visited the White Hart with my grandad, and the local hospital to see my grandmother.
I have very fond memories of The Grove and Frimley village, and it was great finding a picture of it on the internet.

Frimley Green, Old Cottage 1906
Ref: 54907
This cottage is in Bedford Lane. I lived in the house called Connemara which is still in Bedford Lane. My father Samuel Frederick Richardson and his brother George were both bricklayers. Both were demolishing the cottage and they were burning the thatch. My brother John was playing dare. He walked through the outer edge of the white ash and dared me to walk through the middle. Unfortunately I did and was very badly burned. Mother rushed round all the houses, collecting tea leaves to put on my legs. In those days people didn't empty their pots every brew. They just topped them up with a little more tea and hot water. To this day, I do not know where Mother got the idea of the tea leaves. It certainly worked. Just a few little scars and they are hard to find. After demolishing the cottage, they built a red briick pair of houses. A Mr Fairminer lived in the first of the pair. I went to school in Frimley Green with his son.

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 really off the beaten track and in effect the school is really hidden in the local community. Anyway the sight of a derelict school intrigued me so I did some searching on the internet after my walk and discovered that it was a boys' school, it closed in 1998 with around 57 pupils and more intriguingly that it was part of Wandsworth Borough Council, but located in Surrey! Reading the comments below was interesting. The whole area to the south of the school all the way to Farnborough is now housing. The Hatches is now an expensive housing area of Frimley Green. The gravel pits, towards Farnborough North railway station, are lakes. To the north the area has changed little, still woodland.
