Virtual Tour - Knellwood

You've made it to Knellwood, formerly a large estate that incorporated what is now King George V playing fields and all the way to Lynchford Road and whose lodge house was at opposite the end of Albert Road and which still stands today (Image 12). Today Knellwood is a residential home hidden by a modern housing development.

Read a potted history of Knellwood, or find out more details about a new book available on the history of Knellwood by Jo Gosney.

Where to now? Nearby is the former site of The Sycamores, Sycamores Lodge, and Ardwyck House, along with the Farnborough and Cove War Memorial Hospital and Alexandra Road, Castleden Hall and Belgrave House School, with the Farnborough Road running in both directions not too far away. To the East is Saltram Road. Pick where you want to go next from the menu on the right.
