A Brief History of Guilford

Guildford has Saxon roots and was once just a small, unimportant market town. Much of the town's growth came by virtue of its location. Travelers would stop at Guildford inns to refresh themselves and their horses while traveling between London and Portsmouth. The arrival of the railway in 1845 allowed people to commute to London for work. This led to Guildford becoming a dormitory town. Over time the number of commuters increased multi-fold making the town very rich and popular. The River Wey in Guildford was one of the first British rivers to be made navigable, which aided in the town's prosperity.
