IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Princess Way, CAMBERLEY, GU15 3SP

With the opening of The Atrium leisure and shopping complex in late 2008, this photograph was taken from the top floor car park - and looks east across the town centre. It shows the roof of 'main square' an enclosed shopping centre, and a number of other buildings (with flat roofs) in nearby Park Street as an aerial view. Some distance beyond the town centre, can be seen plenty of woodland. (Despite this being at the very centre of Camberley, it is several miles from Frimley, by the way)

The rain gradually soaks into the concrete wall while an upside down cone thrust into a hole in the ground in the roadworks to make a pedestrian crossing of Pembroke Broadway completes the scene.

Buses terminate or pass here. Ashwood House on the right, built in the early 1980s is currently unoccupied, with BHS, the Post Office and other stores at the rear.

A large decorated Christmas Tree and hanging decorations in the Main Square of Camberley Mall. Camberley Mall is an enclosed shopping centre in the centre of Camberley. Each route into the mall has a road name. From this square, in front of O2 is Prince of Wales Walk, to the right is Grace Reynolds Walk, behind the photographer is Cambridge Walk and to the left is Bietigheim Way.

There is only one Nationally Listed Building in Camberley town centre and this is it. The English Heritage website describes it thus:- "Numbers 72-74 High Street (Anglia Building Society). House, now offices. C17 altered in C19. Timber framed with rendered cladding below, exposed to eaves with rendered infilling; plain tiled roof. Two storeys, 3 framed bays with two 3-light metal diamond pane leaded casement windows across first floor. Two square bay shop windows to ground floor with "Gothick" arched head glazing bars. Two half glazed doors to centre in similar panelled surrounds under blocked transome lights with flanking half pilasters under triglyph capitals. Bracket between doors supporting fascia boards. Flat lintelled throughway to right end." The Anglia Building Society has long since been subsumed into the Nationwide, while the building next door, 66-68 High Street and occupied by Illuminations, although not listed, appears to be of a similar provenance. The faded road name plate on the building wall above the Thomas Cook sign states "Princess Way" although old Ordnance Survey maps up to 1973 at least call the road "Princess Street".

Surrey Heath Borough Council's car parking map tells us that the car park has 957 spaces, 36 disabled bays and 23 parent and child bays... The road in front is Pembroke Broadway while Albert Road leads to the car park. What more info do you need??!!
