The rather attractive frontage of Godalming station is seen in some weak spring sunshine. It was opened at this spot in 1859 as a through station replacing an earlier one slightly further north towards Farncombe that was a terminus. Nothing remains of the earlier station that is now a housing estate. Godalming is probably best known as the station used in the 2006 cult film The Holiday starring Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet. It was renamed Shere for some days enabling the filming of a short sequence in the film.
