Town

The boundaries of what I think of as Woking Town Centre, the Walton Road area and Sheerwater may not be the same as your interpretation, and any local authority or ecclesiastical boundaries may well have changed over time, so if you cannot find what you are looking for in this section, it may be in a neighbouring area or perhaps one of the more general sections.


For Instance I have included all the area between the railway and canal from Sheerwater Road to Victoria Way, but some may view the shops of Goldsworth Road & Guildford Road as being part of Woking Town Centre rather than 'Goldsworth' or 'Heathside'. Items on Wolsey Place and The Peacocks can be found here, together with items on the New Victoria (Ambassadors) Theatre (& Peacock's Cinema).


I have tried to divide the archive into logical sections to make finding things easier, but this is not a comprehensive list of items in my archive, just an indication of some of the pre-2000 items I hold, so if you cannot find what you are looking for please ask.


Not everything has been scanned, but those that have are highlighted in blue on the list, so if you find something listed in white that you are interested in please let me know and I will try to get it up on this site as soon as possible.

When the Sheerwater Estate was first built, the local residents’ association produced a monthly magazine known as the Sheerwater Pylon.

There are some missing editions, so if you have one that is not here, please get in touch.
