More about Farnham Surrey
Farnham is a small town (pop. 38,000) in Surrey,
England. The town train station is on the Alton Line,
which provides commuter links to London. The A31 Farnham
bypass links the town by road to Winchester, Alton and
Guildford, and the A325 links the town to the A3
(London-Portsmouth) at Greatham.
It is of historic interest, with many old buildings,
including a number of Georgian houses. Farnham Castle
overlooks the town. Although now a conference centre,
the medieval keep is in the care of English Heritage and
is open to the public.
Farnham was the birthplace of William Cobbett and the
home of Mike Hawthorn at the time of his death.
The Black Death hit Farnham in 1348, killing about 1,300
people, at that time about a third of the population. In
1625 Farnham was again subject to an outbreak of the
plague.
King Charles I stayed at Vernon House in Farnham on his
way to his trial and execution in London in 1649. Vernon
House is now the site of the town library.
Farnham became a successful market town; the author
Daniel Defoe wrote that Farnham had the greatest
corn-market after London, and describes 1,100 fully
laden wagons delivering wheat to the town on market day.
During the 17th century other new industries evolved:
greenware pottery (a pottery, dating from 1873, still
exists on the outskirts of the town), wool and cloth,
the processing of wheat into flour, and eventually hops,
a key ingredient of beer.
The essayist William Cobbett was born in Farnham in
1763, in a pub called the Jolly Farmer. The pub still
stands, and has been renamed the William Cobbett.
The railway arrived in 1848 and, in 1854, neighbouring
Aldershot became the “Home of the British Army”. Both
events had a significant effect on Farnham. The fast
link with London meant city businessmen could think of
having a house in the country and still be in close
contact with the office; Farnham thereby became an early
example of a 'commuter town'. Also, the railway did not
reach Aldershot until 1870; during the intervening
period soldiers would be carried by train to Farnham
station and then march to Aldershot. Many officers and
their families chose to billet in Farnham itself.
In 1895 Farnham Urban District Council was formed. In
1930 the council purchased Farnham Park, a large park
which occupies much of the former castle grounds.
In 1901, the population of Farnham was about 14,000.
Since the end of the Second World War, Farnham has
expanded from a population of about 20,000 to the
present 38,000. Of that figure, approximately 15,000
live in the town centre, whilst the remaining 23,000
live in the surrounding suburbs and villages within the
town's administrative boundaries.
The University College for the Creative Arts at
Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester (a
merger of the local Surrey Institute of Art & Design,
University College and Kent Institute of Art and Design)
offers higher education as does Farnham College. There
are three secondary schools in Farnham. These are Heath
End School,Weydon School and All Hallows.
There are various facilities available in Farnham one of
which is the local leisure centre. The leisure centre
has a gym under the Kinetica franchise through which
personal instructors can be hired. The centre is also
the home of Farnham Swimming Club which allows
youngsters to swim and compete with other local clubs
such as Guildford. The town is represented in the
non-league football pyramid by Farnham Town F.C., who
compete in the Combined Counties League.
Farnham is a flourishing market town with many shops
located along both sides of the main thoroughfare
running through West Street, The Borough and East
Street. The town includes a significant number of
independent retailers offering antiques, furnishings,
and high quality food items. There are also branches of
national retailers such as Woolworths, Argos, Boots the
Chemist, Ottakar's and W H Smith. The major supermarkets
are represented by Waitrose, Sainsburys and Iceland.
Castle Street has market stalls selling a range of fresh
produce.
