The house at the top of this view was that of the Sergeant Major from the Staff College. There are a lot of shops now, and many of the houses that were first built have now altered to accommodate the increase in trade. Traffic travels both ways.

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.

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.
