Shared description
Wilcove
Wilcove has a village hall and a riverside pub. The village also enjoyed a long connection with the Royal Navy: HMS Defiance, a small naval base, was located in the village until the 1950s; HMS Valiant, a large pumping ship, was moored off Wilcove between the wars. The South-East part of the village houses the Thanckes oil depot, which is run by the Ministry of Defence.
