Always in my heart, although I am a Reading boy by birth. Lots of relatives there at one time as my father was from Loop Road, Kingfield & my mother Board School Road just off Chertsey Road. Wonderful walks & cycling during the 1940s/ 50s when I was young. Example; from Boundary Road Common, across Chertsey Road where you would hear the saws working by the canal at Spantons Wood Yard, through the woods to Wheatsheaf Common then across Chobham Road to the Wheatsheaf pub. Great. When I finished National Service some years later I met my late wife (Marilyn) through my cousin Jenny & we married at her Parish Church, Christchurch, where my parents had married in 1938. We were together nigh 60 years & I often see her, in my minds eye, waiting, smiling at Woking station, on the town side, as I arrived from Reading to be with her, in our courting days during the early 60s. The town centre area has changed an awful lot since those days.

Thank you for this video, which was very interesting to watch. When I was a lad and lived with my parents (now deceased) I lived in Woking from 1966 to 1976. My first job was at a Solicitor's Office (long since gone) opposite the Railway Station, before moving to the TSB in Commercial Road. After a couple of years there I decided to try the Library Service, which was initially in a disused chapel in (appropriately named Chapel Street - also long since gone, I think) and later I joined the Library Service, working for Woking Library for five years. During that time, the Library moved into a vast new building that was far too big for it, situated in the Town Centre and opened by Princess Margaret. A few years later it was moved to a smaller building, where it remains to this day. Also, I was confirmed at Christ Church in the Town Centre in 1968. Another of my memories of Woking was of spending many happy hours train spotting on Woking Station! Anyway, enough about my past! 🙂

[@ItzWolves_]

I moved to Woking just over 10 years ago and wow it has changed a lot

[@abdullahmohajb81]

I really, left my heart in Woking Surrey, in 1982. it's indeed a very nice Town. I have spent a very good time of my life - Harven Schoo Of English, and more others.

[@fran-kittyayers5329]

0:57 Pizza GoGo was great for late night munchies I remember ordering around 1 am a few times and they would deliver to Byfleet. Also down this street was Collectors Records and also the Jazz Mine which was one of my favourite bars in Woking. 2:04 I think that used to be called Planets, I moved overseas a few years after that was built. 3:45 looks like that area has been done up quite well, it used to be full of those charity muggers. I used to work in the building just off right of screen at 6:31. 6:36 there used to be a good kebab house on the right in those shops somewhere. 7:07 Mr Cod fish & Chips was down this steet. Also I remember in that Victoria Place there would sometimes be Mclaren F1 on show and on the odd occasion a F1 driver signing autographs, I remember Mika Hakkinen & David Coulthard bring there.

In pizza express

[@Mp-hs2hi]

Woking is great most of the time but it has a large Muslim community and at night time can be a bit funny because of that. My nephew years ago got mugged and people i have spoken to have said you need to know what places to stay away from in the evening's. But generally its a nice town to go to ❤

[@KamranAliKashmeri790]

Tahir Aziz best council woking ❤

[@21stcenturyviralvideos21]

Nice video. Do passers-by ever ask you what you are doing filming them?

[@SpacemanTV2]

Nope. Thanks for watching

[@Elizabeth-nl5ui]

They turned it into a concert dump. What a bloody mess it is now.

[@kroneyt1493]

I've heard that there's a statue of a tripod in Woking to pay homage to The War of the Worlds, is that true? I skimmed through the video but didn't see

[@elric5371]

It’s true but I think they removed it, they also had a hawker hunter as well.

[@SA-oq5lz]

It's.....a Martian.

[@virtualmadworld]

It’s still there. Never ever has it left. Its next to Oniels so im surprised he didn’t show it

[@TheRealMikeyXD_UK]

[@anthonykerr311]

Paul weller lived there

[@madharry2024]

Such a shame its not there anymore

[@nickhirst999]

What, Woking's not there anymore?! Where's it gone?!

[@andrewreynolds2647]

Wow what an utter dump woking has turned in to. So glad i do not live there anymore. This i am seeing is not the future or an improvement, it looks like commerciallised hell on earth. Andy. Scotland.

[@marie-ctunnicliff513]

I was born in Woking Maternity Hospital in 1949, and lived in Addlestone until 1968 - you're right it does look like commercialised hell on earth now. Thankfully I can remember how it used to be like back in the day. Been in Wiltshire since 1972

[@rayjones6497]

lived in woking for around 5 years from 2013; luckily it was the south side of the railway line. other than occasionally having a coffee in Nero, I would get on a train to Guildford for all shopping. I always figured it was one of the less desirable surrey towns. the one positive about woking is that it has direct trains into clapham and waterloo.

[@arriesone1]

Yes it is very commercialised but it also looks very clean; not a scrap of litter to be seen. And hey, some of us like big shops 😄

[@orlandoboom9018]

EVEN SURREY IS WOKE NOW!!! T_T

[@1960dave1960]

Got bored waiting for the adverts to finish……didn’t see the video…..fell asleep….!!!

[@hirensingharay2157]

I am sure you’re not a council tax payer in Woking
