Burdenshot Hill

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). — Worplesdon Station Credit: Stephen McKay

The Jolly Farmer, Worplesdon - pub sign The artist for this Fuller&#039;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.
