Wigod Way Christian Centre
This poor little chapel didn't have a very long life.
There are already a lot of churches in Wallingford. I suppose this was too tucked away on the edge of town to get enough congregation.
It's pronounced "wye god" by the way.
Update:- The chapel has recently been acquired for conversion to a young people's centre.

Wallingford's Shortest Footpath?
Shown on the map as following the edge of a school field to Castle Street at the other end, the path is no longer in existence beyond the 20 metres or so visible here, where bushes take over.
For a long time there has been a road following the same route a short distance away, and the path is redundant but I guess nobody has gone through the rigmarole of officially closing it. There is even a recent looking signpost at this end, as seen here.

Blackstone Road
Judge William Blackstone, 1723 - 1780, Oxford academic, MP, author of "Commentaries on the laws of England" and all round good chap, was one of Wallingford's most famous residents www.berkshirehistory.com/bios/wblackstone.HTML
It only seems fair that he should have a road named after him.

Clapcot Way
Away from the historic town centre, a lot of Wallingford is much like anywhere else.
The town stayed within its ancient boundaries for centuries before sprawling out post WW2 into the surrounding fields.
This is Clapcot Way, a name which harks back to one of the old parishes that occupied the surrounding area in days gone by. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43259
The rest of the street is much the same as this. I just liked the Ho Ho Ho house.
