The Crossway

Street guide, Portchester

A residential street running roughly north to south through the central part of Portchester, linking West Street with Cornaway Lane and the streets to the south. The Crossway has a mix of semi-detached and terraced houses, most built during the mid-twentieth century expansion of the village. The houses have modest front gardens and the street has a quiet, suburban character. It sits at the heart of the village's residential area and serves as a useful walking route for pedestrians cutting between the main roads without using the busier West Street or Cornaway Lane. A small green space provides a spot for children to play.
