Virtual Tour - Queens Avenue

You've made it to Queens Avenue, formerly accessed via Lynchford Road before being redirected via St. Alban's House and one of the main routes into Aldershot and the military camps. Image 1, despite stating it is Aldershot, is still within the parish boundary and is most likely showing the former Ramilies barrack blocks to the right. Image 9 shows the former junction of Queens Avenue from Lynchford Road which is now blocked off. Where to now? At the North end of Queens Avenue is the old Brigade School and the former sites of the North Camp fire station, the Wesleyan Soldier's home, Blenheim Barracks, Malplaquet Barracks, Oudenarde Barracks, Tournay Barracks and Lille Barracks, with Duke of Connaught's Road crossing the avenue, and the busy Lynchford Road just to the North joining up with Alexandra Road and close to the Wesleyan Church. The former site of the Connaught National Hospital is nearby to the East along with North Camp station,. For the full list of locations nearby, pick where you want to go next from the menu on the right.  Take a look at images 5 and 13 for an authentic 'now and then' comparison.
