The Wheatsheaf Pub

Crossing the bridge from Woking town into the road where the Wheatsheaf was (and parkland, opposite it) always seemed like going to the posher end of town! It was more classy there with bigger houses surrounding the green! Nice memories!

Caption For Richmond, Castle Walk 1893

Caption For Launceston, St Thomas' Church 1906

An old packhorse bridge and ford span the tranquil Kensey river, making it the perfect spot for peaceful contemplation. A grey horse cools its feet in the stream, which is still as a mill pool.
