Walton-on-Thames: Former Swansmere Infants School
Photographed for the record this is the former Swansmere Infants School, now in a derelict state after closure around 2004, when the school amalgamated with Ambleside Junior School to form the new Walton Oak Primary School. The closure appears to have become necessary as both Swansmere and Ambleside were suffering from undersubscribed numbers of children.

Walton-on-Thames: Former Ambleside Junior School (1)
Photographed for the record this is the former Ambleside Junior School, now in a disused state after closure around 2004, when the school amalgamated with Swansmere Infants School to form the new Walton Oak Primary School. The closure appears to have become necessary as both Swansmere and Ambleside were suffering from undersubscribed numbers of children. The access road to the new school is in the foreground. Ambleside Junior School dates from the 1920s or early 1930s.

Walton-on-Thames: The Furrows
The broad expanse of an estate road in the Rydens area of Walton-on-Thames, probably named after its former agricultural use. The Ordnance Survey map of 1938 shows the road layout and names but the 1919 edition shows only the original field layout.

Walton-on-Thames: Shaw Drive or Fishmore Farm pond
This pond is obviously well-managed with a great variety of water-loving plants and can be found in the landscaped open space between Shaw Drive and Regency Gardens, giving the impression that it is a recent man-made feature. However it is an old pond that is clearly shown on all the old Ordnance Survey maps up to and including the edition of 1938, just upstream of a farm aptly called Fishmore. Fishmore Farm itself was almost certainly demolished during the works to build the adjacent Queen Elizabeth II Reservoir, and it is a shame that those responsible for naming the new housing estate roads that have sprung up since have not seen fit to maintain the memory of this place.

Pond, small park by Shaw Drive
The blue flowers look like Pickerel Weed, a garden plant of American origin. It is rather invasive, as are other plants in this pond.
