Foreword

Welcome to the new edition of the Godalming Guide. We hope you will find it of interest and useful. Town Guides used to be the principal means of discovering details about a town but now the Internet has become an initial source for many people. It is convenient to sit at a desk and click on the search engine results that hit the screen. There is even a web version of this guide!

We find a continuing demand for a paper version of the guide because it is also convenient: it is quite small, it is there at hand without being bulky, it is portable, it brings much information together and it is a publication only about Godalming and the surrounding area. The search engine has already been run for you and the results filtered!

We are grateful to the many contributors and advertisers, without whose support this publication would not have been possible.

This guide has been produced with both residents and visitors in mind, and is intended to inform the reader about today, the town’s history and development and about future plans for the town. There is a street map with index based on data sourced from Ordnance Survey, with whom we are a Licenced Partner. The local business community has been well represented in the guide giving a comprehensive range of products and services that Godalming has to offer. We hope that both residents and visitors will find this guide informative and useful.

The Godalming Guide is published every year and delivered by Royal Mail to every business and residential address within Godalming and the surrounding areas, covering the following postcodes; (The following information is supplied by the Royal Mail) and is current at the time of going to press.
