Knaphill is a village in Surrey, England, between Woking to the east and Farnborough to the west; to the south and north on the A322 – its western border – are Brookwood, and Bisley.
Theatre company Peer Productions is based at the Woking Youth Arts Centre in Knaphill, providing drama training and workshops for students of all ages.
WYAC was previously known as Trinity Studios, and is famous as being the birthplace of the Spice Girls and the boy band 5ive Local pubs include The Garibaldi, The Nags Head, The Royal Oak, which dates back to the 17th century, The Anchor, formerly a hotel and now closed, and Crown Inn, on the high street.
Most of the hospital grounds have now been redeveloped, the wards having made way for several superstores and a large number of houses.
In 1859 the Home Office began constructing a prison for disabled convicts on a 65-acre site in Knaphill.
In the 1970s, however, the site was sold to Woking Borough Council and comprehensive demolition followed; a couple of terraces of houses are all that remain today.
