How absolutely lovely. I knew this area well, back in the late 1940s, early 50s, did a lot of cycling around there. Although I resided in Reading my fathers parents & sister lived down Loop Road, Kingfield Green. I remember often going to the first group of shops on your left to a CO-OP which appears to be absent now. Just a bit further on, the left road leads to Rydens Way which was Council years back. One could gain access to that along Stockers Lane opposite Kingfield House which you did not cover. Towards the end of your journey you passed by what would have been the entrance to Unwins (Gresham Press) to the right where my grandfather worked for years & my father until he moved, with my mother to Reading, where he continued in the print trade until retirement. Also to the left you would have Hipley Street one of the oldest parts of the area. In reply to the likely boundary of Kingfield & Old Woking, I believe one enters Old Woking as you leave Kingfield Road coming up from Woking Park area opposite Woking Football Club's Kingfield Stadium. The waterway is known as the Hoe Stream that joins the River Wey. This is also apparent in the Park area where Claremont Road leads onto Kingfield Road. Hope that is helpful to you. Although I have been driven that way more recently I really enjoyed that. Brought back a lot of memories. As it happens, my eventual wife was a Woking lady but from Board School Road just off of Chertsey Road, close to the Canal area.
