I lived close by between 1958 and 1980. I knew the name but not where it was. Only place I can think of is there is a sort of respite hospital on the main road at the northern end of Farnham Common. My father had a stroke in 1976 and he was taken in there to give my mother some respite periodically.

Thank you both for your replies.  It was obviously in use for many years.

The place I gave you can't be right. The A355 is Beaconsfield Road as far north as One Pin Lane, then it becomes Collinswood Road as it continues north to Beaconsfield. The place you want is still there but sounds as though it's been split up into flats. It's large and I can't think where it is. Once past One Pin Lane on the right going north, it's mostly countryside. If you Google Collinswood House, it will come up.

Hi Opal, not sure if you have had any luck. I live almost opposite and am sure that the place is now flats.

Could this be it?

Thank you.  It looks as if is could be the building with much renovation for apartments.

I took a look at the map link the REG provided and was able to see that Colinswood Hotel and Colinswood did not yet exist in the 1938 map. In the later maps it shows the buildings ever the years changed at least 3 times. I tried posting the 1938 map in a PDF file but it errors out saying it's too big. I will try posting it as a JPG.

Correction: No buildings on the 1876 map.
