Storage Warehouse by the Blackwater

Now upstream of the generous input from Aldershot Sewage Works and much depleted as a result, the diminutive River Blackwater goes past here in a concrete trough of weeds after culverting under the busy A323.

Welcome to Surrey

The River Blackwater is used as a county border for its whole length, firstly between Hampshire and Surrey and later between Hampshire and Berkshire. Here is where it goes under the A323 as that road crosses into Surrey county.

The Blackwater is not at its best through here as it enters a culvert under the A323.

Wildflower Meadow - Now Selling

A new housing development off Guildford Road. Not that there's much meadow left, or wildflowers come to that, but I'm sure they're very nice houses.

Footpath past the building site

A public footpath fenced off from where new houses are being built.

New Houses on Wildflower Meadow

A nice rustic sounding name for this new extension to suburbia. Taken from the footpath along the edge of the site.

Shops on Guildford Road

A couple of local businesses, including a very welcome sandwich bar where I managed to get some lunch in a bit of a pub and shop free zone.

Lysons Avenue industrial units

Lysons Avenue is lined with light industrial units of all shapes, sizes, and designs. In age they range from possibly the 1930s (the white building in the centre) to the ultra-modern (on the right).

Ash Vale station and bridge

The railway from Woking to Alton via Aldershot crosses the Ash to Frimley road on a high embankment, just by Ash Vale station. The station structure - comprising mostly a staircase leading to the platforms - is a less than elegant structure.

Ash Wharf

The Basingstoke Canal at Ash Wharf, taken from the adjacent road bridge looking east. Just west of here was Ash Embankment which burst in September 1968 and nearly led to the total loss of the canal.

Ash Wharf

Looking south-east across the road junction. This spot seems none too clear whether it's in Ash or Ash Vale but it's probably the most thriving centre in the surrounding area. The road ahead climbs up the hill towards Ash, behind leads to Ash Vale, and to the right is the road to Aldershot.
