Witham moving guide

Pretlove's Removal and Storage Service has been serving Witham for over 100 years.

The market town of Witham lies between Colchester and Chelmsford in the heart of Essex and has a population of 22,500. Archaelogical digs have uncovered evidence of Neolithic occupation and the remains of a Roman temple, and Witham was once known as a spa town in the 18th century. Today the town still has a wealth of timber-framed 16th century buildings, and a statue of its most famous former resident, the writer Dorothy L Sayers, stands in the town centre. Good transport links include a railway station on the London to Ipswich line, and easy access to the A12 motorway.

Pretlove's Removal and Storage Service can move you to all the surrounding villages of Witham, including: Hatfield Peverel, Kelvedon, Silver End, Terling and Wickham Bishops, and to the nearby towns of: Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester, Great Dunmow, Halstead, and South Woodham Ferrers.
