Worplesdon Station Worplesdon station was built between Woking and Guildford in 1883. The surrounding area has remained largely rural although there are some large houses within walking distance. It is therefore a quiet place for most of the day but nevertheless enjoys an hourly off-peak service in either direction. In this view, looking towards Guildford, the platforms are deserted and there is a hint of morning mist through the bridge (which was soon to clear leaving a bright sunny day).

Whitmoor Common Whitmoor Common is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest covering 166 hectares (410 acres). It includes heathland and woodland; a network of paths makes it easily accessible to the public. Although the practice has long been discontinued, at one time bracken on the common was cut down in the autumn to provide winter bedding for farm animals.

The Jolly Farmer, Worplesdon It is good to see a pub deep in the Surrey countryside that appears to be thriving. It was built in the mid 18th century and is now a Fuller's house with a beer garden to the rear. It stands adjacent to Whitmoor Common.

The Jolly Farmer, Worplesdon - pub sign The artist for this Fuller's pub sign has chosen a curious image featuring an American tractor built by Case. For many years Case was a major manufacturer of agricultural machinery in the USA but the company did not enter the British market until it acquired David Brown Tractors of Yorkshire in the 1970s - long after the machine featured here would have been a museum piece.
