Guildford, the county town of Surrey, is located half way between London and Portsmouth. Guildford is situated in a gap on the North Downs where the River Wey breaks through the hills. The River Wey was one of the first navigable waterways in the country and stretches from Godalming to the Thames. The Hog's Back is where the North Downs narrows to a narrow ridge running from Farnham to Guildford. An extensive view of the surrounding countryside can be seen from both sides of the Hog’s Back. While attending Oxford University the famous author Lewis Carroll spent days at a time visiting his sisters who lived in Guildford and he is now buried in the cemetery on the Mount. Guildford began as a Saxon village and as a ford (called Guilden or Golden Ford). It is thought that it was named after the golden flowers that grew on the riverside or because of the golden sands on the banks of the river. St Mary’s Church is the oldest surviving building in the town. Guildford Cathedral (built in 1961) dominates Guildford town from its location on the top of Stag Hill. At night the cathedral is floodlit which creates a spectacular display. Guildford Museum is located on Quarry Street, a road running just off the High Street, with part of the museum housed in the gatehouse of Guildford Castle. Guildford Castle was originally constructed in the late 10th century. The castle fell into disrepair after the 14th century but it was restored in 2003-2004, revealing original crenellations and other features. A roof and floor were re- instated at first floor level, and the ground floor now houses a display on the castle. The first students passed through the doors of the University of Surrey in 1894 and it was awarded its charter status in 1966. The main campus is located on Stag Hill and is home to 1200 students and 3000 staff. Currently there are nearly 14,500 students who are offered over 50 subjects at undergraduate level. The University has strong links with the Royal Surrey County Hospital and the Surrey Research Park, which currently accommodates over 100 companies. The Royal Surrey County Hospital serves a population of 320,000 for emergency and general hospital services. St Luke’s Cancer Centre is the lead specialist centre for cancer patients in Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire, serving a population of 1.2 million. The hospital is now in the final stages of applying for Foundation Trust status and hopes to receive this status in the Autumn of 2009. NHS Foundation Trust status will give us the freedom and ability to provide even better services for our patients and we want to work closely with them and the communities we serve to plan for our future.
