School House stands at the corner of Market Place and Market Street. The Hospital of Christ, built in 1398, stood on this site, which was once known as Baresplace. School House was erected in 1853.
The sands slope gently, offering safe bathing for children, and extend for a mile and more.
Knowledge of the swift tides and currents in this area is vital, and that is why there are more fishermen using this beach than tourists, who have heeded the warning.
It is ten years after G66010, and more cars are evident. This view is flanked on the left by the shop front of Greenwoods chemist's and druggist's shop.
These were popular places for family outings on sunny days in the 1950s and 60s. Here young children splash in the paddling pool, while others are more adventurous in the main pool.

Moving south-east and still within Wonersh parish, we reach Shamley Green, in 1965 still a remote Surrey hamlet loosely built around its triangular green.
Farther along are more barrels and boxes. Outside the lower building next door, now a private residence, is a display of spades.
We are now further along Leigh Road and looking back towards the station. Trees planted c1900 are now mature, and more modern lighting has been installed.
Beyond this there are now modern houses. The overhead electricity wires and poles remain and the slate roofed house behind, quirkily named Toad Hall. There are more modern houses on the right.
