Christmas Day, 2007 at Berwick, Oxclose, Washington
This Close was built about 1980 as part of the continuing programme of expansion of Washington New Town. Originally all the districts of the New Town were, with stunning lack of originality or imagination, identified by number; this area being District Number 3. Recently, the Council has relented and re-labelled them with user-friendly names, this being Oxclose. Naming of streets in the new housing estates must also severely tax the imagination of planners. All the streets in this estate are simply known by placenames in Northumberland, this being simply "Berwick", not Close, nor Road, nor Avenue but just that - "Berwick". No fairy lights in the trees or giant Santa Claus affixed to the outside walls; nevertheless this is indeed taken on Christmas Day.

Oxclose Church, Washington
The Anglican Church in the Washington neighbourhood of Oxclose. Unlike its neighbour, St John Boste Catholic Church Image, architecturally this Church has very little to recommend it. Admittedly, this is the back wall facing a dingy cluster of neighbourhood shops. The large blocks of stone are possibly meant to be a piece of public artwork. Photographed at noon on Christmas Day, 2008.
