More about this scene
Across the River Wey from Godalming is Farncombe, once a hamlet but now in effect a suburb of the town. Its architectural highlight is the Wyatt Almshouses of 1622 on the Guildford Road; but our view is in Farncombe Street, looking west to the railway level crossing. The gates are now lifting barriers, but the signal box survives. Unfortunately, the left-hand side of the street has largely been rebuilt in sad 1960s three-storey flats-over-shops style: no match for the 1930s mock timber-framed parade opposite.
