Frith Hill dominates this photograph, which would have been taken from Charterhouse. The houses of Charterhouse Road are at the bottom of the slope, with Peperharow Road branching off (bottom right). Deanery Farm is just above the word "Godalming" printed on the card and the roof of the old farm building that now houses S.S. Peter and Paul Scouts can be seen above the word "General". There seem to be all kinds of junk, including timber, behind the farm buildings.

As part of the 1877 application to the Board of Trade for powers to construct waterworks and to supply water within the Godalming a plot of ground attached to and on the north side of the Old Deanery Farmyard was identified for "a well and pumping station, with pumping engines, engine and boiler houses, and other works, buildings, and conveniences"^[1]. The former No.1 pumping station was situated behind what the Scout Hut (on the left of the enlargement) and has in recent years been converted into a private dwelling.

In the middle distance beyond the hill and the railway embankment are the Lammas Lands. Slightly further away is a church spire, shown in the enlargement below, that belonged to the former Congregational Church on the corner of Bridge Street and The Burys. It was eventually taken down. Just behind the church and to the right is the distinctive curved row of houses in Victoria Road and then the gasometers belonging to the former Gas Works in Wharf Street. You have to look hard, but they are there.
