Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
HIGH STREET, GUILDFORD.
The ancient county town of Surrey is very old, being mixed up in the history of Anglo-Saxon strife. It is in the very midst of that beautiful scenery of wood and vale for which Surrey is famous, and is itself most picturesque from the variety and "keeping" of the solid old houses which abound in it. The principal thoroughfare is the High Street, lined with buildings of most contrasted styles, including many of the quaint timber-fronted Elizabethan kind, and especially the curious old Town Hall, erected in 1683, which overhangs the footpath, and has a large clock projecting still further over the roadway. On an eminence are the remains of the old Norman castle, of which the keep is still in tolerably good preservation.
