Upper Welland from The Malvern Hills
The village of Upper Welland did not exist before the 1851 Welland Inclosure Act. Before then this area, now built upon. was Lower Assarts common, on which there was less than half a dozen cottages. Though well separated from Welland village, it used to be within the parish (which extended up to the ridge of the hills) until 1898 when the upper part of Welland parish broke away and joined the recently created Malvern Urban District.
