Old Sawmill Close

Street guide, Wickham

Old Sawmill Close is a small residential cul-de-sac that takes its name from a former sawmill that operated in the area, reflecting Wickham's history as a working village with trades and industries beyond farming. The close is quiet and residential, with modern houses set around a turning area. Residents are within walking distance of the village centre and its facilities. The name is one of several in the village that preserves a memory of the trades and industries that once sustained the community.
