 Sandhurst, Little Sandhurst 1939 (ref. 88875) | From Yateley, we take the road to Sandhurst, and on to Little Sandhurst; here we see Napper's store, with its fine Hovis advertisements. Today, it is still a general store in Little Sandhurst High Street. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |

 Sandhurst, Village 1939 (ref. 88873) | Cars have replaced horses, and just out of shot, on the right, would be the Rose and Crown public house. Today, the Post Office, the first building on the right, is a bathroom showroom. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Sandhurst, 1939 (ref. 88867) | The photographer was probably standing on the platform of Sandhurst Halt when he took this picture. The Petrol Garage is still trading today. The road stretches towards College Town and Camberley. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |

 Hawley, Village 1906 (ref. 57004) | If we follow the signs, we come to the National Rifle Association Offices and Ranges, known the world over.

 Hawley, 1906 (ref. 57005) | We go back into Hawley Lane and arrive at Hawley School, with Vicarage Lane to the right, just past the school buildings. Where the road ends, just out of view, is Hawley Church. Both of my children went to this school, which retains its village atmosphere. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Yateley, Reading Road c1955 (ref. Y6015) | This was the main road through the village, before the advent of by-passes; we are looking back in the direction of Blackwater. This was the A327. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Yateley, the Common 1924 (ref. 75556) | A bus with solid rubber tyres heads towards its Camberley destination on a road that was not made up. The Common was typical of the scenery around this area, and it was one of the reasons for its popularity. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Yateley, the Village c1955 (ref. Y6013) | Compared to photograph 57007(overleaf), we can see that Tice and Son are still in business, but the old steam bakery, which was next door, has been demolished. The green is now fenced. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Yateley, Village Post Office c1950 (ref. Y6004) | The Post Office was next to the Dog and Partridge, and compared to the previous picture we can see that the telephone box was white, before they became red in colour. The main road towards Reading is to the right. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Yateley, the Village and St Peter's Church 1906 (ref. 57007) | The church dominates this view. Today we see a new church on the same site; a fire destroyed the old building. The Dog and Partridge still serves its customers from the same location. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, Viaduct 1901 (ref. 46850) | The railway came through Bagshot in 1878, which necessitated this viaduct being constructed. The first house on the left is Peel House, which was built in 1851 as Bagshot Police Station, one of only four in the whole of Surrey at that time. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, Cricketer's Inn 1927 (ref. 79604) | We are in London Road, with a mixture of transport passing, right by The Cricketer's Inn, which has now had some extensions added. It was an extremely popular inn, especially during Royal Ascot Week, when it would be full. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, the By-Pass Road 1925 (ref. 78023) | The newly-constructed road stretches in the direction of Camberley, with the Station Lodge to Bagshot Park on the right. It was once the home of the Duke of Connaught, before being used by the Royal Army Chaplains Department. In more recent times it has become the home to Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, Jolly Farmer Hill 1906 (ref. 55836) | The photographer was probably standing on the platform of Sandhurst Halt when he took this picture. The Petrol Garage is still trading today. The road stretches towards College Town and Camberley. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, The Jolly Farmer Inn 1906 (ref. 55835) | We are closer to Bagshot village, and we see Higgs Lane to the left, and the High Street in the distance. The road is now called the London Road, and most of the cottages in this picture are still there today. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, London Road 1903 (ref. 50985) | We are closer to Bagshot village, and we see Higgs Lane to the left, and the High Street in the distance. The road is now called the London Road, and most of the cottages in this picture are still there today. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
 Bagshot, Village Children 1903 (ref. 50991) | As we turn down Higgs Lane, this is what we would see looking back towards the main road. The large house was called Yaverlands; sad to say, it no longer exists, having been pulled down in the 1970s. | Add your own MemoryAdd to your Album |
