Woking

Woking is only 10 minutes away from Guildford on the train and i went there on Saturday morning. Of course i took some photographs at the railway station which has a marvellous Art Deco signalbox and some photographs along the Basingstoke Canal which goes through the town.

Perhaps most interesting though were some of the unexpected items in the town itself, a Hawker Hunter on a plinth and a Martian tripod statue! The latter because the Martians in War of the Worlds first landed near the town and indeed HG Wells was living in the town when he wrote the story.
