Old Barn at Wickhamford

This old barn is one of the old agricultural buildings associated with the old Manor House which is just round the corner. It is just off the road to Badsey.

House at Wickham Farm

This is the main house for what appears to be a large working farm on the west side of Manor Road, the main road down through Wickhamford.

Sandys Arms Public House

This pub is on Manor Road at its junction with Longdon Hill and Pitchers Hill. The main road , the A44 now misses out the pub by a few yards due to road straightening.

Wickhamford

This is the green triangle on the A44 at Wickhamford. The old road passes behind the tree and goes off to the village on the right. The road was straightened many years ago and the new straight road is on the left.
