Frith Hill and River Wey, Godalming, 1907 |
|
The photograph was taken from Godalming Bridge, looking north west
across the Lammas Lands towards Chalk Road and Frith Hill. Behind
and above the houses on Chalk Road one can just about make out
the line of Frith Hill Road, called Hindhead Road when the picture
was taken, and the junction with Deanery Road. There is a young
man seated on a chair who is smiling at the photographer.

Below is the view from the Town Bridge today. The telegraph
pole has gone and Frith Hill is more wooded than it was;
the ivy covering the buildings on the right is also a thing
of the past. Godalming Library is housed in a building out
of shot on the left.
