Woking Town Square
In 1838 when the railway arrived, Woking town centre was open heathland. The town developed in a fairly piecemeal fashion and had reached a form of completion by the mid-1980s, when redevelopment began again. A short-lived town centre swimming pool disappeared as part of those changes, to be replaced by the Pool in the Park. The present form of the town centre, including the modern library, the Peacocks shopping centre, and the refashioned Wolsey Way centre date from that time.
