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.

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.

Monitoring Borehole on the edge of Town
The first field past the houses on the north side of Wallingford.
Nowhere round here is safe and site investigation seems to have already started, either for yet more houses or maybe a gravel pit.

Empty Field with Kites
A rather blurry, low light picture of over 15 Red Kites circling over this empty field to the north of Wallingford.
It's hard to believe these birds were once on the brink of extinction. In fact they were extinct in this area prior to their very successful reintroduction.
This large field is currently one of the sites on the edge of town attracting the unwelcome gaze of house builders.
Tell them it's a nature reserve with rare birds on it.
