Frimley Green

城市概覽

The settlement which grew up adjacent to the Staff College, was first named Cambridge Town after a local hotel, but this name proved unfortunate for officials of the Royal Mail. They were concerned that much of the Cambridge Town's post might end up in an ancient university city on the edge of the Fens in eastern England. Thus, the name of the Victorian upstart was quickly changed to Camberley, to match older local place names such as Frimley, Hawley and Yateley.
