Egham bypass
This stretch of the A30, a dual-carriageway bypass with a 50mph speed limit, was opened in 1935 (source: http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Network_changes_-_1930s ).

Pre-Worboys sign on Hummer Road, Egham
Thanks to Stephen Craven for discovering this, made for the bypass in or since 1935. The pedestrian part has been painted out, presumably as pedestrians can't cross the barrier, but would apply now to all vehicles instead.

Unusual roadsign, Hummer Road, Egham (closeup)
The old roadsign, at the north end of Hummer Road where it meets the Egham bypass, reads "Pedestrians beware fast moving traffic". It presumably dates from 1935 when the bypass was built (source: http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Network_changes_-_1930s ) The last three words have been picked out in black paint, the first two are now barely legible.

Nursery in former chapel, Hummer Road, Egham
The building is still shown as a place of worship on recent maps. It seems to have been originally a Friends meeting house, later a Plymouth Brethren meeting house. Now it is a children's nursery.

Cycle lane alongside the Egham bypass
This stretch of the A30, a dual-carriageway bypass with a 50mph speed limit, forms part of National Cycle Network route 4, so a segregated cycle lane is pretty mush essential. It follows current good practice by having parking bays between the cycle lane and the traffic lane.
