THE WEDDINGTON GROVE


 

Picture Gallery IX - The Redevelopment of the Grove in 2010

 

As of 2010, the transformation of the Grove  - the last major surviving building from the Castle estate - and its grounds into a housing development (to be known as 'Grove Park') is fully underway. Photos of the development will be updated throughout the year.

 

September 2010**:

 

The houses are going up quickly, and some residents already appear to have moved in! However, work is yet to start on the Grove itself (save for the demolition of its outbuildings) and it remains fenced off and marked with graffiti. One positive is that the road sign "Lionel Close", is in place. This is named after the former owner of Weddington Castle: Lionel Place. All September 2010 pictures are by Jenny Brookes for which grateful acknowledgement is given.

 

 

August 2010:

 

A small comfort is that the developers have listened to suggestions and named the main access road "Lionel Close", after the former owner of Weddington Castle: Lionel Place. Photographic images of the development will be added soon, meantime here are some computer-generated images from the developer's sales website.
