Old Dean
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Image:Drapeau-Old-Dean-IMG 0935.jpg Old Dean is a large council housing estate on the outskirts of Camberley in Surrey, United Kingdom.
Most of the estate was built in the 1950s on the "Old Dean Common" for residents of heavily bombed Surrey-areas made homeless after World War II. It was later expanded by the authorities to be used as a London overflow estate, and the roads on that half of the estate reflect this as they are all named after the London boroughs which paid for the expansion (the others are named after places on the common).
There is a recent development which has expanded the Old Dean and provides more affordable housing. The Old Dean is the location of four schools; Pine Ridge Infant School, Lorraine School & Nursery, Cordwalles Junior School, and Collingwood College. It is also the home of the Camberley Fire and Rescue Service.
