Burrow Hill Today
A Memory of Frimley Green.
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.
