This new website is a developing collection of memories, photographs, stories and comments, forming the community history of Wickford – the town and its surrounding areas. In ‘Wickford’ we include Runwell, Battlesbridge, Shotgate, Rawreth, North Benfleet, Crays Hill, Downham and the Ramsdens – the boundaries are very flexible. You are invited to explore this history and to add to it.
