The address is Long Reach, Ockham, Woking, Surrey. It is near the corner of Green Lane and opposite Even Wood.

Gary C and I filmed there only last year for the "Yesterdays Racers" DVD series. It was very much as it was when I first visited when I was fourteen, quite a few years ago. Sad that it was empty and unused.

I really can't recall, but I have a vague recollection that there were for rent or for sale boards about, but as I say, I'm not 100% certain. Gary is way at the mo', so I can't ask him, and I don't think there were any clues in the footage, but I'll look.

It would be perfect for a small race team, or an team competeing in historics, but it looked like it had been empty for some time.

Thanks.

Wow. Those roads are not particularly wide - how on earth would they get one of those modern car transporters through there???

Try Google Earth and 'GU23 6PG'. It looks as though a business has taken the premises over and it's called the 'Tyrrell Building'.

Looks like the company that has taken over is called Club Green Ltd.
