The River Wogebourne rose on the slopes of Shooters Hill, ran across what is now Woodlands Farm and East Wickham Open Space before turning north along the Wickham Valley. It is seen here flowing downstream from Streamway. Not only the river lives on but in the road names of Streamway, Woodbrook Road, Bournewood Road and Waterdale Road, all in this small area. A full history of the Wogebourne can be seen at http://e-shootershill.co.uk/2013/09/08/wogebourne/
