Addlestone Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Surrey, and around 20 miles southwest of central London, is the town of Addlestone.
The name 'Addlestone' is derived from Old English 'Attel’s Denu', meaning the valley belonging to Attel (presumed to be the name of a Saxon settler).
Addlestone is home to a tree thought to be over 1,000 years old, known as the Crouch Oak. This once marked the boundary to Windsor Forest, and it is rumoured that Queen Elizabeth I once had a picnic under it.
In 1848 the railway arrived in Addlestone courtesy of the London and Southwestern Railway. Today it is situated on the Chertsey Branch Line, linking up to the South West Main Line via Weybridge which is one stop away. Trains to London take just under 50 minutes via Weybridge, or about 60 to 80 minutes via Chertsey.
In 1917 Blériot Aéronautique acquired a factory in Addlestone. The company had been founded by French aviator Louis Blériot in 1909 - the same year in which he became famous for being the first person to fly across the English Channel.

Happy memories of living there as a kid in the 70's. Sadly, now looks like a right old dump!

I lived there from 1949 - 1968. You are right, it has turned into a right old dump. So sad!

It was a lovely town back in the seventies, loved the schools too.
