That's one of the best control rooms I've seen and I'd not heard of it till now so thanks for sharing. One for next year.

Wow. That's really special.

I was under the impression there was 5 in total. 2 Demolished, 3 including this one still out there somewhere? I did a little bit of digging before but failed to come up with he location of the other 2. Someone must know!

I'm kicking myself for not paying attention to what the guy was telling me about the other control rooms. He did have photos of one of the other control rooms and it was similar to Woking. It was good to see the picture which Kevin Arnold put on from Three Bridges. I believe that Woking took some spares from there including the Art Deco up lighters. I will try and get hold the guy who showed me round and see if i can glean some more infoand thanks for all your great comments

Some great shots from my favourite local place SG. I was only showed pics of Three Bridges while there (last year) - internal and external ones ( I took some shots of, hopefully I will be able to find them).. And can't recall anything about spares?
Certainly it is one of the best sites to visit in Surrey , such a gem...

I wish I had seen it on the heritage day website, hopefully it'll be open again next year.

Hopefully. (Some years it's been late getting added to the website.)

September 2011 visit
