Welford Pocket Park
Welford Pocket Park
From Northamptonshire County Council's website Welford Pocket Park is a small crescent-shaped roadside wet meadow established in 1999 at the northern edge of the village and covering an area of about 0.19 hectare or 0.48 acre. The land formed part of a 5.5 acre field which was owned by Baron Webb and then sold to the Earl of Normanton in 1834 who sold it on. A cottage stood on the Pocket Park site but was demolished. In the 1930s Great Oxenden Rural District Council bought the land for a sewage treatment works. In the late 1960s Northamptonshire County Council purchased the land in order to realign the former A50 (now the A5199) but this was eventually not implemented.
