This is great to see. I used to work at CTC, the national cycling charity, just around the corner at Railton Road, in 2014-2015.
I used to walk through the nearby housing estate during my lunch hour for exercise and the old barracks were always a point of interest. I might have to go back and take another look now that I’ve seen this clip.
Does anyone have any other old photos of Stoughton, just to satisfy my curiosity?
[David Rose adds: Yes, I have a collection of vintage images of Stoughton. A number have been published in some of my many local history books. Most out of print now, search on Google as they can be bought second hand. Also search under ‘Stoughton’ here on The Guildford Dragon NEWS.

The square bashing scenes in ‘Carry on Sergeant’ were filmed there.
