business centre/building, place with historical importance
The Godalming office of Parsons Brinckerhoff Ltd. (a worldwide engineering consultancy firm) sits on Westbrook Mills, which was previously the site of a tanning and leatherworking factory, pulled down in the 1960s after it fell into disuse.
The stream of the mill that gave the site it's name is still present, along with the sluice gates that are now used solely to control the flow of the river in order to reduce flood risks.
The mill was used in 1881 to produce the electric power which ran a series of electric street lights provided by Seimens, the first public use of electric street lighting in the whole of the UK.
