The previous pictures seems to have stumped all the regular contributors – no one left a reply at all! First time ever for this column.
I believe the cemetery chapel featured is within Stoke Old Cemetery, off Stoughton Road, Guildford.
As I noted previously, I do not known the exact whereabouts of the stone memorial, but as a hunch I think it might be in the same cemetery. I’ll have a look sometime.
Still a mystery therefore over the third photo that was of a bridge over the River Wey Navigations. Perhaps someone will offer a clue.
This time, a couple of early 20th century picture postcard views of pubs. The one above is in Guildford. Shouldn’t be too difficult to recognise.
The one below may be a little harder. It’s a cracking photo of the White Hart. A common enough pub name, but which one in a village in the Guildford area?
Leave your reply below. All posts received will be held on file and added all together along with my answers in about a week’s time.
The Drummond Arms is now just called ‘The Drummond’ and is frequented by the University of Surrey Students.
I was there the other night to take part in a quiz they had kindly organised to raise funds for the Barn Youth Project.
The White Hart is situated at the entrance to a lane which used to lead down to a group of houses made out of corrugated tin and they were known as ‘tin town’.
We think the first picture is the Drummond Arms in Woodbridge Road
and the second is the White Hart in Wood Street.
