49. WOKING HEATH, HORSELL COMMON. AND BANKS OF THE 

 BASINGSTOKE CANAL. 



Enclosures and buildings, more or less continuous, have here diminished 

 the area of what was once a very considerable tract of heath, in the 

 neighbourhood of Woking Common station. It was continuous with that 

 portion of Pirbright Common now included in the precincts of the Woking 

 necropolis. The Basingstoke Canal and the South-Western Railway in- 

 tersect it, from east to west, with plantations of Fir-trees on either side of 

 them, more or less continuous as far as Weybridge. Horsell Common and 

 Woodham Heath (one expanse) adjoin it ; the former crossed by a road 

 to Chobham, and the latter bordered by a road to Chertsey. Subsoil sand, 

 occasionally peaty.
