Wickford, Town and civil parish in Essex, England
Located 30 miles east of London, Wickford lies within the Borough of Basildon along the River Crouch at 10 meters above sea level.
Archaeological findings confirm Roman presence through a military marching camp at Beauchamps Farm, which later transformed into a Roman villa settlement.
The name Wickford first appeared in a Saxon charter of 995 as Wicford, meaning a ford near a wych elm or a dairy farm.
The railway station connects to London Liverpool Street and Southend Victoria, with trains reaching the capital in approximately 40 minutes.
In 1958, a major flood affected the town center, leaving a double-decker bus partially submerged overnight at Halls Corner.
