Towns & Villages in Runnymede
EGHAM
A busy coaching town in the 18th and 19th centuries, the town is now by-passed by heavy traffic and this, along with the pedestrianised town centre, makes it a favourite place for shopping. On the outskirts of the town is the Royal Holloway building, which was modelled on the French Chateau de Chambrod. Originally built for the philanthropist, Thomas Holloway, it was opened as a college for women by Queen Victoria in 1886 and contains a small art gallery which can be visited by
prior arrangement.
