One of the Cobham Heritage Trust’s key aims has been to encourage local residents to search out, explore and treasure their local environment and heritage.

With this in mind we began publishing a local walk in each of our quarterly Cobham Heritage Membership Magazines, to help our readers and residents to make the most of their local area.

Due to popular request, we have now updated each of these walks and are publishing them together for the first time in one volume, available now to all.

This has been so popular that we have had to have a second print run to keep up with demand.

Many Cobham residents will remember the Dawson Strange Photography shop in Between Streets and before that in Anyards Road.

Dawson Strange closed in 2006 when Eric Strange retired. In 2012 Eric Strange went through his back catalogue of photographs to create a book called "Cobham's Strange Photography" which featured much of Cobham's well known local built and natural environment, its commerce and the people who helped mould Cobham into the place we know and love today, as well as the places that are no more.

This book builds on the previous book published in 2012 which is now out of print and includes 7 new chapters and has doubled in size. 

Limited availability.
