Now Cyprus Road, Deepcut
These buildings look like the now demolished army quarters at what is now known as Cyprus Road, Deepcut.

After the War
I lived at 257 Frimley Green Road- where Warrens' garage now stands - 1942 to 1954. There was an air-raid shelter on the Green which we watched being demolished. Every Nov 5th there was a gigantic bonfire on the Green, fired by paraffin donated by Percy Warren; squaddies would come down from Deepcut and add to the tumult, one year detonating the Gents at the Rose & Thistle. Whenever I'm in the south I have a wander round the village, which has changed remarkably little; even The Mons is still there (or was in 2006) run by Mr Clapshaw, later by Mr Heap, who was one of the few shopkeepers who didn't object (usually with good reason) to the village boys. ...read more here

Frimley Green memories
My Dad was Charles Cheyne, the village chemist in Frimley Green - famous for his cough medicine - the report in the local Camberley News when he died in 1963 reported "It was dark brown in colour and had no name. Word spread far and wide about Mr Cheyne's cough cure, and soon people were sending for his medicine by post from as far away as Gibraltar and Holland." My Mum was Joan Jarman - the local District Nurse, and one can only guess how she and my dad got together - bearing in mind their professions! I have lovely memories of living over the shop - and particularly our telephone number there - Deepcut 5! Dad had moved to Frimley ...read more here

Extracts From Deepcut & Surrey books
This large white-painted corrugated iron church sports an ‘army green’ roof and bell turret. Dedicated to St Barbara, patron saint of warriors, it is open to the public, and was built in 1901. The stained glass windows display regimental badges.
An extract from from"Surrey Photographic Memories".
The Royal Field Artillery pose informally for the camera. In 1906 there was still a great deal of romance attached to soldiering, perhaps because of the long distance travel it involved, and the glamour of action in far-flung corners of the empire.
An extract from from"Surrey Photographic Memories".
A view of the ordnance depot of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. The guns appear to bear more resemblance to those used at Waterloo than to those that would be used eight years later at the outbreak of the Great War. The regimental dog is in the left foreground.
An extract from from"Surrey Photographic Memories".
A group of gunners from the Royal Field Artillery pause in their task of servicing their heavy artillery outside the ordnance depot at Deepcut Camp, which had been built in 1901. It takes its name from the deep cutting which was made through the hills for the Basingstoke Canal in 1791-92.
An extract from from"Surrey Revisited Photographic Memories".
A fine study of a gunnery team standing to attention at Deepcut Camp. To our eyes, the finely crafted wooden wheels belong to an era one hundred years earlier, and appear obsolete when compared to the type of warfare that would be waged eight years later.
