This is the closeup of the other pole along the Thames Path, Walton-On-Thames.

Everyone takes the pair on the pole but I haven't seen a picture of this one next to it before. The finger puts the date well before the war, probably the first war as well.

Walton Lane, Walton-on-Thames.
Here is a pair of them surrounding the Thames Path. Only one of the signs are intact.

The moss covers a perfect sign, sadly soon after it was taken the sign was removed, leaving an empty pole.

Sunbury-On-Thames.
We've seen a blue circle with a pedestrian and a bicycle but not this.

Found in Fetcham, Surrey, although clearly pre-Worboys this is not a standard type of sign but cul-de-sac is often used on local road names there, although this is the first I've found on a separate notice.

Leafy Surrey, where they never get proper winters. Most side roads in Surrey/North Hampshire were like this in early Jan 2010

The is the A30 meets the A321 and the A331 in Camberley. Inconsistant signing. Places marker 1: This has just been rebuilt and is signed Farnham, Guildford (A321) Marker 2: Farnham A331 (lose Guildford and becomes green) Marker 3: Farnham (A325) and back to white. The A30 is a non primary route here and a mile north of the M3. Marker 1 Signs both London and Staines along the non primory A30. The fun begins the other way, just dont follow it for Basingstoke They vanish the other side of blackwater

Sparks Garage, next to the Jolly Tea Rooms. Demolished circa 2019. Now an undeveloped space

The Pipe Elephant constructed by the builders firm that used to occupy the space behind. It was a landmark on the journey to the West Country in the old days. A30 Camberley, looking west.

The road was an S4 in much of Camberley. Now its a mess of roads and lanes and lights. This was 8 am on a Sunday. It takes 30 mins to get through the town on a weekday rush hour.

The only bit of S4 left is over the rly at Blackwater. Looking west. The lights beyond, are part of a double set that stay red for ages. From memory, there were only 2 sets in pre M3 days, now there are 9 e/bnd.

An early 1950's view of the Jolly Tea Rooms, on the A30 opposite the Jolly Farmer pub near Bagshot, looking east. This is a straight piece of road but, in 1960, a rbt. was built, for the A325 junction, with the Jolly Farmer pub in the middle, which remains today.

Egham bypass, dualled in the mid 60's. Not as rural as it looks.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Aug 20, 2009 by SteveA30
This untouched stretch is how most of it was from Egham to Camberley, wide S2.

Heading west at Virginia Water. Leafy and expensive area of Surrey.

Old A3 lives again, for 1 night only. Old garage on left.

Queue caused by temporary lights at Thursley junction just around bend. Layby still used by n/bnd. traffic off D2 A3, as a peaceful refuge.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Dec 03, 2006 by SteveA30
Total closure of A3 to allow beams to be lifted into place. Southbound traffic diverted via slip roads.
Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Dec 03, 2006 by SteveA30
The former A3 at Thursley marked out by the HA, awaits its return to glory, as a diversion off the modern A3, in connection with GSJ construction. August 2004.

A photo showing some wooden fencing to deaden the traffic noise and prevent pedestrians from crossing the busy road. There are a few gates in the fencing and they aren't locked, and a couple of them were open.

Looking Portsmouth-bound where a newer-build section on the flyover meets the old bypass. Just before the flyover heading southbound a 50mph limit starts, as a lot of traffic has to merge from this sliproad into two lanes of a trunk road, plus the old road is more narrow and winding.

Looking in a southerly direction where the newer section of the Guildford bypass meets the older section. Note the GEC 'Brick' in the foreground.

Lovely bit of 1930's dual carriageway at Guildford. The bridge carries the A31 down the hill, leftwards, on the last leg of its journey from Bere Regis in Dorset. The date on the bridge is 1934. As the streetlights indicate, the slip up to A31 goes straight on and, the A3 veers sharply to the right and downhill.

Looking east. The eastbound side was also the original S2. It is now the offslip into Ripley. Old DC continues to A247 rbt.

Looking London-bound from the UniS/Onslow Village junction. Note how close the footway/cycleway is to the road, luckily behind a crash barrier. There is a pedestrian underpass here, but some people prefer to cross the busy A3, climbing over anti-pedestrian railings at the same time. Would you want to cross this road?

Looking west along the old w/bnd c/way between Ripley and Guildford. Modern A3 veers offline to the left behind the trees, to form the Ripley bypass.

The narrow bridge has an 18 ton limit and is controlled by traffic lights. I believe that it is called Newark New Bridge.
