  • Guildford was the county town of Surrey, England. Ford Prefect, during his long time on Earth researching for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, claimed to be from this town originally, though he was actually from a planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.
  • Since the dawn of time, man has dreamed of Guildford. With easy access to London and the south coast, it is the jewel of Surrey. Guildford was founded by the Romans in A.D 52. In 1976, a bit of the Omen was filmed there. But what happened in between? Well the short answer is nothing. The long answer is, Not Much. Guildford was ranked number 13 in 'The Greatest Village Not On Earth' poll from The Guardian newspaper.The name Guildford is thought to of been derived from 'Golden Ford Escort' where the first ever, and only Golden Ford Escort was made. The Golden Ford was driven up and down the high street in the early eighteen hundreds by Cher, who at the time was only 43 years old.

  • Guildford is the county town of Surrey. England, as well as the seat for the borough of Guildford and the administrative headquarters of the South East England region. It is situated 27 miles (43 km) southwest of London on the A3 trunk road linking the capital to Portsmouth. The town has Saxon roots, and likely owes its location to the existence of a gap in the North Downs where the River Wey is forded by the Harrow Way. The town grew enough in importance that by 978 it was home to the Royal Mint. With the building of the Wey Navigation and Basingstoke Canal Guildford was in the centre of a network of waterways that aided its prosperity. The Guildford pub bombing by the Provisional IRA in 1974 killed five people including four off-duty soldiers from the local barracks. The subsequently arrested suspects became known as the Guildford Four.
