A Snowy Tour of West Byfleet

For those of you who've never had the unique pleasure of visiting West Byfleet, we offer to you today, a pictorial tour of the village.

Or, in other words, we took a whole stack of photos when it was snowing and were wondering what to do with them.


The church.



The parking lot outside Waitrose supermarket: the geographic and cultural centre of the village.



Waitrose again.



The train station: an important link to civilisation.



The Basingstoke Canal: home of ducks and longboats, and former link to civilisation before the roads and trains came apparently.



The not-very-green village green.



One of the village pubs.



Village shops.



More village shops.



The snowy traffic lights and the bank.



More village shops.



Lucy's school - school was closed for two days to let the kids (and teachers) enjoy the snow.



This is the church at nearby Pyrford. It dates from 1140 we understand and was worth a photo in the snow.



The Saddlers Arms pub at nearby Send Marsh (a better option than the West Byfleet pubs, just quietly).



The church at West Clandon (another proud "Westie" village) also worth a photo in the snow.
