. The building itself is very derelict but the land behind it is not. On the way I encountered a pair of not very friendly types in a tractor on a public single track road. On arriving here a good few miles further on, I realised that my friends would be returning, so with a bit of quick mental arithmetic, I guessed I had about 20 minutes or so to look round, so pics aren't the best as I was a bit hurried. :(
Also the rain was heavy, so apologies for the rain on my lens.
Only history I could find is that it was an agricultural college built in 1890, can't find out when it closed.

Air Traffic Control - ZX Spectrum

The program simulates the job of controlling the air traffic over a section of southern England, including the main London and south coast airports. All you have to do is make sure the planes don't get too close together and that aircraft leaving your section are at the correct height for the air channels they're entering. You take over for a fixed period of one hour and, at the end (or earlier if you quit), you're given a percentage rating relating to your performance. Different ability levels are catered for by varying the number of planes entering the area within the hour.

Communication with the planes is handled via the keyboard and the main screen display depicts your radar screen; you can also have on-screen lists of aircraft or all flights scheduled to come through the area. ATCwon't be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like simulations or turning your brain to jelly then it's worth a look. 4/5 MISS

Ross: Because this game's such an accurate simulation of air traffic control, it's rather slow and dull. No doubt some of you out there are dying to be master of the skyways, but it's certainly not my idea of fun! 1/5 MISS

Roger: Such a staggeringly boring and witless simulation that it'll probably go nova in Guildford and be even bigger in Woking... 0/5 MISS
 
Bit late to see this tumble as i have been rather busy, but what a wonderful find you found!
You should see me rushing about.... pics blurry as anything, so you did wonderful with this place, very nice building aswel top marks all around!
 
Thanks a lot, I wish I'd had more time here. I think I'd said in a reply earlier that I'd thought it was a school. Nearly right. :)
