Geoff:
I doubt if there is any particular value in this link. Surrey is a 
pretty big county. Ockham is well to the south of the county, near 
Guildford and is what might be called "traditional" Surrey.

Discussions on Little Whinging in the group have suggested that it is 
to the north of the river, out towards Heathrow airport. This area 
was the county of Middlesex and only became Surrey when Greater 
London was set up in 1965 and Middlesex ceased to exist 
administratively (although it survives on postal addresses!).
