Housing in Goodwyns Road on the Goodwyns Estate, a largely late 1950s housing estate built by Dorking Urban District Council on land compulsory purchased from local benefactor Howard Martineau, who until 1954 owned Goodwyns Place on Tower Hill, just to the north of the estate. On the left are bungalows in Harecroft, in the background is one of the two tower blocks on the estate, Wenlock Edge (the other, Linden Lea is just visible behind the tree to its left), and on the right is Bluebells, the newest block on the estate, completed in 2015 on what was previously an underutilised open space.
