Collingwood Grange Close, CAMBERLEY, GU15 1LD

A new housing estate built in the 1990s on the site of the WRAC college. Seymour drive was the access road to the college.

This is where the A30 separates into the Old Portsmouth Road, (left fork), and the A30 through Camberly (right fork). Situated on the roundabout is a golf pro shop which used to be the Jolly Farmer pub. Originally this was a posting inn situated at the top of the long drag up from Bagshot. The inn was originally called "The Golden Farmer" after a local farmer whose source of wealth was a mystery, until a highwayman was captured and found to be one and the same person ! The Basing Stone, which marks the parish boundary can be seen on the left hand side of the road.

The former Jolly Farmer inn now converted to a golfing shop that occupies a site in the middle of the roundabout on the A30.

The Tollgate Stone, against the front garden wall of No 12 facing onto a roundabout on the northwest side of the A30 London Road at its junction with the A325 Portsmouth Road and the B3015 The Maultway. In the former Frimley parish, now an unparished area in Surrey Heath district. Reported to be a tollgate stone in its original location. The stone on the other side of the road has disappeared.

This stone is located on the A30 adjacent to the traffic lights at the Jolly Farmer roundabout. The very worn plaque reads "SITE OF BASING STONE AND LEGEND OF THE WHITE HART". The stone, (which replaces an earlier one that was destroyed in the 1950's), marks the parish boundary. The legend of the White Hart, as given by a booklet: Medieval Surrey Heath. 1996 PJ Stevens is :- "Legend says that near the Basingstone (Beausantstone) Richard II was attacked by a wounded stag while hunting. He was apparently saved by a White Hart that came between them. In gratitude the King is said to have caused four hostelries with the sign of the White Hart to be erected in the forest at Bagshot, Chobham, Frimley, and Pirbright."

The sign on the front left was on the roof till recently.

A modern development on near the eastern edge of the town.

The Maultway from the entrance to the Black Hill car park. This link road runs from Deepcut to the Jolly Farmer roundabout on the A30.

This view shows the top end of the long drag up the A30, (the Portsmouth Road), from Bagshot. Siting a posting inn, (The Jolly Farmer), at the top of this rise would allow the horses to be refreshed, or replaced. As it is on the main route from London to Portsmouth all the major naval figures, including Admiral, the Lord Nelson, would have alighted to stretch their legs here.
