Wash Common, Berkshire

Wash Common is a small suburb to the south of Newbury in Berkshire. It is built on the former Newbury Wash, which was flat open heathland and until the 19th century there was just a small group of houses separated from Newbury by open country. Both places have grown into each other, and the suburb of Wash Common is now continuous with Newbury. It is within the council area of West Berkshire.
