View eastward, towards Ash Junction and Guildford. The station, closed from 4/7/37, was where the house is situated. This was the former 'Tongham Loop', a relic of the original (1849) LSWR Farnham branch from Guildford, which was superseded in 1865 by the direct line from Pirbight Junction through Aldershot to Farnham. After 1937 the single-line 'Tongham Loop' proved useful in the War for hiding ammunition trains in the woods - but one was bombed and set on fire in August 1940, and remained open for goods until 1/55 (1/61 as far as Tongham).
