Burleigh Road is a quiet residential road within walking distance of Frimley shopping centre.

Burleigh Road is a quiet residential road within easy walking distance to Frimley shopping centre, which is why parking is restricted by double yellow lines. This view looks north towards Church Road, the main B3411 leading into Frimley, which can just be seen at the T-junction at the end of the road, beyond the road works. Properties in the road have mature, attractive gardens.

Sheridan Road is a quiet residential road within walking distance of Frimley shopping centre.

Shamrock Close is a small cul-de-sac in this residential area within walking distance of Frimley shopping centre. In the distance, between the houses, can be seen one of the unusual properties in the 1965 Apex Drive development, built from grey brick and white mortar (see Image for a closer view of these buildings).

Although described elsewhere as flats every one I saw appeared to have a single entrance and just very large houses. Here is the main information and with no surprise won an architectural award https://camberleyobserved.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/prize-winning-architecture-in-apex-drive-frimley/

There is a story behind the current arrangement of signs. The custom made triangle is not beware of cats (although that is always a good idea), but the plaque below originally had '20's purrfect' underneath. That was replaced by the original warning sign (pre-Worboys) which was originally above it and provided the message on its own, as presumably the speed limit was unofficial and unlawful. Because the old sign is now on a wider part of the lamp post they had to remove the old bracket and replaced it with gardening twine which is not a good idea. Finally the houses may not have been built till the mid 60s, meaning either the road was made a little earlier or the danger sign was taken from a supply after the design had been made obsolete. But a very lucky survivor, one represented in various versions, with caution being a standard alternative, or adding the danger underneath.

The Apex Drive development was designed by Lawrence Abbot and built by the Apex Society, founded in 1965, to provide 'affordable housing in Greater London and the Home Counties'. These unusual properties were built from grey brick and white mortar which contains sparkly quartz. Each block is a square, divided by a kind of flattened S-shaped wall which produces an interesting internal curved wall for each apartment, ending with a curved window where it meets the outside wall. The guttering is hidden within the fabric of the walls.

This electricity sub-station is located adjacent to a public pay-and-display car park just behind a parade of shops on Frimley High Street in the centre of Frimley. The sub-station is bounded on the far side by residential properties on Burleigh Road; one of these, Whitebourne Care Home, can be seen on the left of the photograph. The fence on the right of the photograph bounds the back gardens of houses in Leonard Close.
