IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Ashley Park Road, WALTON-ON-THAMES, KT12 1JS

Originally the Victorian hotel serving Walton-on-Thames station, which is behind the photographer, this is now the Ember Pub and Dining Ashley Park http://www.emberpubanddining.co.uk/theashleyparkwaltononthames/. However the building has not lost its original purpose as Travelodge have recently opened a new facility adjacent to the hotel, but out of sight at the end http://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/info?hotelId=488

This prominent building opposite Walton-on-Thames railway station appears to be being constructed for the Cornerstone the Church whose website is here http://cornerstonethechurch.com/Groups/93929/Cornerstone_the_Church.aspx Old Ordnance Survey large scale maps show that this was once the site of a garage.

View eastward on Station Avenue, towards Surbiton and London: ex-LSWR Waterloo - Woking and the West main line.

The memorial was placed here in 2000 commemorating the death on Friday 27th September 1940 of Flight Sergeant Charles Sydney RAF. He was based with 92 Squadron at RAF Biggin Hill and died when his Spitfire (R6767) crashed in Station Avenue by the site of Walton Court.

High quality office complex built for Bird's Eye Foods in 1960-62 to the designs of Sir John Burnet, Tait & Partners (and sympathetically extended in 1967). The exterior is distinguished by its curtain walling, blue vitreous enamelled panels, aluminium hexagons and mullions (Image]). Grade II listed. The site has been empty for about ten years. The hoardings have gone up since Image Developers Crest A2D want to demolish the buildings in order to build 375 homes. In a way, one can hardly blame them for trying it on - anything to avoid denting profits - but Elmbridge Council will make a mockery of the listing system if it nods it through.

They looked very nice inside as well from what I could see through the windows.

View eastward, towards Surbiton, Wimbledon and London: ex-LSWR Waterloo - Woking and the West main line. All stopping trains use the outer platforms and the - decorated - centre island has its gates closed. The station serves a large area populated by 'commuters' - evidently including cyclists, but this was a Sunday.

Modern is actually a design rather than an age, these were probably built around 1970.

Walton Court was built in the 1960's and formerly the headquarters building for Birds Eye and Unilever. The Grade 2 listed building is now awaiting new tenants.
