| Name |
Fate |
| Bath Road |
Ran between Commercial Road and Church Street.
Middle Walk, in the Wolsey Place shopping centre, is on the line of
where Bath Road used to be.
|
| Boundary Road |
Boundary Road ran along Woking's northern
boundary, with Horsell parish. That part from the current Brook
House roundabout to Horsell Moor disappeared when Victoria Way was
constructed.
|
| Butts Road |
Ran south off of Goldsworth Road, from near
the junction with Church Street West. Was later extended to join
up with Poole Road. The stretch which joined to Goldsworth Road
was lost with the building of the current fire station.
|
| Cawsey Way |
With the construction of Wolsey Place shopping
centre and the pedestrianisation of the market place near Victoria
Arch in the early 1970s, Cawsey Way was constructed to link the bottom of the High Street
with Church Street West. It closed on 12 June 2017 and vanished during the Victoria Square development.
|
| Church Street |
Until the
building of Wolsey Place shopping centre, Church Street ran from its
junction with Chertsey Road to its junction with Goldsworth Road.
The section from Jubilee Square to Victoria Way was built over.
|
| Clarence Avenue |
Ran from Church Street to Boundary Road. The route is now covered by The Peacocks.
|
| Hoe Bridge Road |
Ran across the northern end of Gloster Road, Old Woking and continued east as a footpath. The route is now covered by Rydens Way.
|
| Market Road |
Ran westwards, parallel to the
railway, off of Guildford Road. Tesco Express now sits on the
site.
|
| Oakfield Terrace |
Oakfield Terrace, formerly Oakfield
Road, came off the north side of Church Road. The Victoria Way
multi-story carpark covers the site.
|
| Robin Hood Road |
A 75m stretch in the centre of Robin Hood Road has disappeared, where it was cut by Amstel Way
in 1989.
|
| Temple Bar Road |
There is still a Temple Bar Road
in St John's, near to the original, but the original was where the
health centre now is.
|
| West Street |
West Street was originally called
Ellen Street (in the 1881 census, it appears as Helen Street). It
originally ran northwards from Church Street before turning right
through 90 degrees and heading east to meet Church Path. Only the
easternmost end (meeting with Christchurch Way) still exists; the rest has disappeared under the library and The Peacocks.
|
| Diverted, Converted, Renamed |
| Current Name |
History |
| Addison Road |
Addison Road was named as such in about 1950.
Constructed in about 1893, it was previously known just as 'new road'.
|
| Barrack Path |
Barrack Path was
originally called Prison Path, as Inkerman Barracks was originally
built as a prison for invalid convicts. It stretched from the
Basingstoke canal in St John's to the junction of Herbert Crescent and
Victoria Road. After the barracks closed and the land was
developed for housing, that part of Barrack Path from Raglan Road almost to
Amstel Way has been developed into a road called Inkerman Way. That part between Raglan Road and Herbert Crescent has been renamed as an extention of Victoria Road.
|
| Blackbridge Road |
Originally joined Wych Hill to Egley Road. Now there is just a
truncated stump left connected to Wych Hill and the northern stretch of the road has been connected to Wych Hill Rise.
|
| Bridge Barn Lane |
Originally part of
Arthur's Bridge Road. It was isolated from the rest of the road,
in around 1980, by the construction of Lockfield Drive during the
Goldsworth Park development.
|
| Broadway (Woking) |
Constructed in the 1890s, it was originally
part of Maybury Road. Because the section between the station and
Stanley Road was wider than the continuation, it was colloquially known
as the Broadway. It seems to have been renamed as the Broadway in
about 1930.
|
| Broadway (Knaphill) |
Previously known as Broad Street.
|
| Castle Road |
Off the north side of Woodham Lane, much of Castle
Road was previously known as Crescent Road.
|
| Chapel Street |
Chapel Street, between High Street and
Commercial Way, was named after the original Wesleyan Chapel which was
built in 1872, prior to which it was unnamed. It was probably
officially named Chapel Street in 1886, when it was adopted and
thereafter maintained by the Highway Board.
|
| Cherry Street |
Cherry Street now forms three sides of a
rectangle on the south side of Poole Road. Previously, it did not
include the easternmost leg which is a modern extention and a widening
of what was formerly Snelgar Road.
|
| Chertsey Road |
Prior to the development of Maybury Road, that part of Chertsey Road between the station and Duke Street, was known as High Street (as it was a continuation of that).
|
| Chobham Road |
In the 1871 census, Chobham Road is referred
to as Bridge Road. By 1881, it had acquired the name of Chobham
Road. In the late 1970s, when the Fine Fare superstore and Crown
Life House were constructed, that part of Chobham Road between
Commercial Road and Church Street became pedestrianised. At around the same time, the construction of Victoria Way cut off the southern part of Chobham Road from its continuation north towards Chobham.
|
| Church Path |
Church Path connected St Peter's church at Old
Woking with St Mary's church, Horsell. It was diverted in the
1790's when the Basingstoke Canal was built and again, in the 1830s, when
the railway was built. It then ran in a straight line from the
railway station to the Wheatsheaf Bridge. When Chobham Road was
built, that covered the short stretch across what is now Victoria Way
and Wheatsheaf Bridge. This century, a further piece has been
diverted and become Christchurch Way.
|
| Church Street East |
Following its development
in the late 1860s, Church Street was originally called Providence
Street. It was renamed Church Street, following the building of
the first Christ Church in 1877. In the late 1970s, Wolsey Place shopping centre was built across the central section of Church Street. The eastern section, from Jubilee Square to Chertsey Road, was renamed as Church Street East.
|
| Church Street West |
Originally, this stretch of Church Street was
named Wandle Road (until the redrawing of the district boundaries
c.1890). In the late 1970s, Wolsey Place shopping
centre was built across the central section of Church Street. The
western section from Victoria Way to Goldsworth Road was renamed as Church Street
West.
|
| College Road |
College Road, Maybury used to run into East Hill, formerly Bunkers (see above), which ran from Sandy Lane to Old Woking Road. In recent times East Hill has been renamed College Road.
|
| Commercial Way |
Previously called Commercial Road, it ran
east from a junction with Goldsworth Road, Percy Street and the bottom
of High Street to meet Chertsey Road near Duke Street. In the
description of the census district in the 1881 census, it appears to be
referred to as Sylvester Road. In the 1970's, the western end was
cut across by Cawsey Way (see above) and the eastern end, beyond
Chobham Road, was built over (Fine Fare superstore, later Gateway, The
Planets and The Big Apple). Most of the remaining stretch of
Commercial Road, alongside Wolsey Place, was pedestrianised and renamed Commercial Way.
|
| Courtnay Road |
In Maybury, between North Road and Boundary
Road, was previously called Queen's Road.
|
| Dartnell Park Road (W Byfleet) |
Previously called Dartnell's Park Road.
|
| Frailey Hill |
Frailey Hill was previously known as
'Bunkers'. This likely referred to the area rather than the road.
Before being adopted by the council, the road appears to be unnamed.
|
| Heath Road |
Off the south side of Woodham Lane; was
previously called Lyndisaye.
|
| Heathside Crescent |
Previously called Oriental Crescent.
|
| Inkerman Way |
Previously part of Barrack Path, developed
into a road after the barracks closed and the land was developed for
housing.
|
| Jubilee Road |
Jubilee Road, which sweeps round from
Victoria Arch to join Station Approach was renamed in 1897, for Queen
Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. It is not named on any earlier maps.
|
| Lower Guildford Road (Knaphill) |
Running from Knaphill to Hermitage Bridge,
was previously called Asylum Road (after the Surrey County Asylum known
as Brookwood Hospital).
|
| Lytton Road |
Off the west side of Maybury Hill; was
previously called Marlborough Road.
|
| Mabel Street |
Was initially called Vera Street and then Mabel Road.
|
| Maybury Hill |
Previously called Monument Road.
|
| Mulgrave Way |
Previously called Mulgrave Road.
|
| Old Woking Road |
The stretch from Old Woking High Street to Hoe Bridge was formerly known as Hoe Bridge Road.
|
| Oriental Road |
Until about 1890, was
called Maybury Heath Lane (renamed following the establishment of the Oriental Institute).
|
| Park Road |
Originally Park Road, in
the 1930s and 40s it was called Park Road East and Park Road West,
either side of the offset junction with Pembroke Road, before reverting to its former style.
|
| Raglan Road |
Presumably renamed after the prison was converted to Barracks in 1892
(named after Lord Raglan, who was involved in the Battle of Inkerman
after which the barracks were named).
Any previous name is unknown (possibly Prison Road).
A 1950s plan of
the barracks shows the southern half of Raglan Road (between Barrack
Path and Hermitage Road) as 'Rolica Road'.
|
| St John's Mews |
Originally called St John's Place, later Monnow Terrace.
|
| St Paul's Road |
Together with The Ridge, used to link
Pembroke Road to Marlborough Road, and was called Hill View Road.
|
| Station Approach |
Was previously named Station Road.
|
| Sussex Road (Knaphill) |
Was previously named Carpenter's Road.
Originally, the road came off of the High Street and went halfway to
the Broadway. It was presumably renamed when it was extended to
link up with The Broadway. It was named after the 2nd Battalion
Royal Sussex Regiment, which was stationed at Inkerman Barracks
1912-14.
|
| The Ridge |
Together with St Paul's Road, used to link
Pembroke Road to Marlborough Road, and was called Hill View Road.
|
| Victoria Road (Knaphill) |
On the 1871 OS map, when the prison was still
in operation, a path or track ran from the northwest corner of the
prison directly towards the Anchor Hotel in Knaphill. This was
likely a continuation of Prison Path and probably known as such.
Likely renamed in honour of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
|
| Victoria Way |
The section from Victoria Arch to the
junction with Lockfield Drive was previously named Percy Street.
|
| West Street |
Originally called Ellen Street (in the 1881
census, it appears as Helen Street, see above).
|
| Woodham Rise |
Was previously named Albany Road.
|
| Wych Hill |
Previously named Whitstreet Lane.
