Wickford’s name goes back to a Saxon charter of 995 AD, and the Domesday Book of 1086 recorded the settlement as ‘Wicfort’, a town that later produced Robert Wikeford, a local man who rose to become Archbishop of Dublin in 1375. The River Crouch running through the town centre has caused real trouble too: a September 1958 flood nicknamed ‘Gumboot Alley’ by the national press led to the river being re-engineered into a concrete channel after a second flood in 1960. A flat battery near the Broadway, a breakdown by the River Crouch, or a car on the A129 all need an operator who knows the town, which is exactly what car recovery in Wickford SS11 arranges through CityGrip.

What to do if you break down in Wickford
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
