The Forge 86a Upper Village Road Sunninghill
The house was built 25 years ago following demolition of the original factory (The Forge). The climber on the right is Solanum jasminoides 'Album', still flowering profusely in October.
site of the former Sunninghill Gasometer
After lying derelict for many years, the gasometer was eventually demolished, then the site lay as waste ground for a decade, during which period it developed a very diverse flora. All that is gone now, as the long-delayed housing development is underway.
Stag-headed Quercus robur in Church Field Silwood Park
As the tree ages, there comes a point when the canopy starts to contract each year leaving the resilient but now dead limbs behind.
Ascot High Street

All Saints' Church
A church in North Ascot, off the A329 (London Road). It was built in 1864 with red brick and Bath stone dressings. This photograph was taken on a Sunday, which is why the car park has some cars in it.
The church is a Grade II listed building, list entry number 1109923 Link
Building 46 at old Heatherwood Hospital
Simply known as "Building 46" - this number being taken from Heatherwood Hospital's plans of the site - this building with large chimneys, unique tiled roof with half height gables and brick walls with decorative internal structural steel and render on another section will soon be demolished.
The detail given within the planning application of the building is as follows: "Building 46 is a single storey brick-built structure with a profile metal roof
and gable cladding. Overall the building is in good condition with one large
gap located at the northwest corner of the building. Internally the building is
split into both a workshop area and office space. A loft space is located via
a stairway and is in good condition showing no sign of damage."
It has acted as a landmark to the area since the 1920s in its prominent position beside the A332 (King's Ride). All of the 1920s buildings of old Heatherwood Hospital are set to be demolished, or already have been. In 2018, full planning permission was given to demolish the existing hospital and construct a new building to serve as the hospital. In 2022, planning permission was given for the construction of 230 homes on the site in the form of 2, 3 and 4 bed houses and 1, 2 and 3 bed flats.
