Tollgate Cottage, Merrow
This 19th century tile-hung cottage has been built on the site of the original toll house on Epsom Road. The tolls were abolished in 1867 and the cottage was demolished before being replaced. It's closing tariff was "4d a horse; 10d per score of bullocks; 5d per score of sheep" - not many of these beasts are seen today on Epsom Road!

Epsom Road, Merrow
An uncharacteristically quiet view of this main arterial road heading east out of Guildford. Note the village sign with its race horse - Merrow once had a race course on its Downs where the golf course is today.

Merrow Village Club & Hall (1), 177 Epsom Road, Merrow, Guildford
Although Merrow was at one time a village, its huge expansion in recent decades has meant it has become another one of Guildford's suburbs. A relic of its days as a village is Merrow Village Club & Hall. A photo in the Francis Frith Collection from 1913, shows the outside of the hall very much as it is today, apart from the entrance area.
