Dist:0.2km<br/>This football pavilion, which is off Grasmere Road, was opened in June 2009 at a cost of about £1.1 million, half of which was funded by the Football Foundation. It is the new home of Rushmoor Community Football Club, a Football Association Charter Standard Football Club. Please see the Football Association webpage http://www.thefa.com/GetIntoFootball/Facilities/NewsAndFeatures/2009/Rushmoor_pavilion.aspx and the football club's own website http://www.rushmoorcommunity.com/index.htm (Note to webpage writers and signwriters - do try and check the spelling of pavilion before you commit pen to paper...!)

Dist:0.4km<br/>The Old Courthouse is on the north side of Cove Road. It was once known as The Anchor and then as The Jolly Farmer, but gets its current name from the fact courts were held in it when it was the Anchor. Amongst other judicial matters permission would be granted to the people of Cove to dig peat and gather fuel off Cove Common.

Dist:0.5km<br/>In these days of difficulty for the licensed trade it is interesting to see this pub directly opposite [[1394837]] on the other side of Cove Road. According to their website http://www.tradesmansarms.com/ this pub was established in 1741.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The church is in Cove Road, Farnborough, and is one of three Church of England places of worship in the parish of Cove. It was built to the designs of W Curtis Green in 1934, and became a Grade II Listed Building in 1981. The listed buildings page of Rushmoor Borough Council's website describes it thus: "Brick with Portland stone dressings. Steeply pitched tiled roof in which the clerestory windows are expressed as a row of dormers. The roof sweeps down to ground floor eaves level, but the internal space is aisleless but for narrow passages outside the timber piers which support an elaborately braced roof. A single large lancet at either end. North and South gabled porches, north vestry extension. Narrow sanctuary projects to east of short choir. Plain, rendered interior." The Church's website is here http://www.parishofcove.org.uk/stchristophers.html

Dist:0.6km<br/>There are eleven of these pairs of semidetached social housing blocks in Wood Lane, all currently unoccupied and being refurbished by, I think, Rushmoor Borough Council and the Sentinel Housing Group. As can be seen by the arrow in the road, far right, Wood Lane is a one way street.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The 1874 Ordnance Survey 6" to the mile map shows this bridge at the end of Frog Lane (now Holly Road). It is almost certainly therefore part of the original fabric of the railway, dating from no later than 1838. Its original function, pre-dating by a long margin all the housing in the area, would probably have been to provide access to either side of the railway to a farmer whose land had been split by the construction of the embankment. Today it provides a pedestrian route under the railway between Holly Road and West Heath Road.
