A meeting was held in March, and rules for a new constitution were drawn up. The Association has had a good start. It has now a mem- bership of 84, which must be considered as satisfactory in view of the difficulty of getting into touch with Old Boys. The Com- mittee is elected with due regard to a territorial representation, so that at least one Old Boy in the area shall be in close touch with the Association.

  • Vistas, Roofscapes and Skyline – a Position Paper by the Guildford Society
    Preserving Guildford’s vistas, roofscapes and skyline – a position paper by The Guildford Society Overview Guildford has been bestowed with a stunning natural location, located as it is in the heart of the North Downs in the River Wey Valley and this topography has created particularly fine sight lines. As the historical county town of Surrey, Guildford’s development has created a number of historic buildings of local and national significance that have created an iconic skyline. Together these have combined to form a key component of The Town’s heritage. It is the Society’s position that these skylines and sight lines be protected for the benefit of current and future generations against damage by development in The Town. As it is impossible to list every sight line and skyline of heritage value in Guildford, developers should demonstrate that there is no significant impact on these by any proposed development. Vistas within Guildford town centre Guildford is frequently called a gap town “and probably owes its location to the existence of a gap in the North Downs where the River Wey is forded by a path commonly known as the ‘Pilgrims’ Way’” between Winchester and Canterbury1. It is also located on the coaching route between London and coastal towns such as Portsmouth, which was a catalyst for creating much of the iconic architecture in Guildford today. On both sides of this river valley there are steep and significant hills, the Mount leading to the Hogs Back to the west, and Pewley Down (with the Castle at its base) and St Martha’s Hill to the east.
