Frimley Aqueduct

When the London & Southampton railway was built, it cut through the line of the Basingstoke Canal, so this aqueduct was built to carry the canal. It had to be widened in the early 1900s when the line was widened from two to four tracks.

Quoting from Link

"The Basingstoke Canal is declared by many to be Britain's most beautiful waterway. From the rolling North Hampshire hills to the dramatic flights of locks in Surrey, the tree-lined canal offers a variety of delights. The canal is a SSSI nature reserve, teeming with wildlife, while its 200-year old bridges and locks hold a surprise around every corner. Add in the colourful sight of traditional canal boats and you have a unique attraction all for free! The canal can be enjoyed from the 32-mile long towpath or by boat or canoe. The best place to start your visit, or to find out more is at the Basingstoke Canal Visitor Centre at Mytchett, right on the Hampshire and Surrey border."

Frimley High Street

This is still known as the village by all the office workers despite it being surrounded by housing and industry. It's quite useful for supplies and somewhere to go at lunchtime. It's got 4 charity shops.

Office blocks near Frimley

The site of these blocks was owned by a large British Company. They moved into nearby premises and sold the land for development. Later they sold those premises and now rent a nice new block.

Frimley Railway Station

The railway line through Frimley is a link between the Waterloo-Reading line at Ascot and the Waterloo-Alton line at Ash Vale. The station building was built in 1878 to serve this line. The line was later electrified in 1939.

Apex Drive, Frimley

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.
