Our Day trip to the historic village of Wickham, UK, August 14, 2021
As you enter the town of Wickham, you can't help but notice a very old sign on the side of a building on the main street. Certain types are not welcome here!
I often notice the type/color of brickwork and stonework on buildings as we move around England. This old house is covered with flint stones, very much like the ones found on walls and beaches in Portchester. It's an abundant resource around here, so you'd expect it to be used this way, but it has a distinctive look.
A local eatery with a funny name.
And even funnier logo sign.
This is the historic lodging on the main square.
And their distinctive sign. Signs and logos around here are quite a work of art.
Of course every little town or village must have a local bakery, this was no exception.
Local church on the hill.
Wickham also has a very nice trail system, that was converted from an old railroad bed that goes through the town. It makes for a nice walk.
