FOR THE COMMUNITY OF HUSBANDS BOSWORTH

Est. 1996 BOSWORTH BUGLE ISSUE 249 MAY 2017 BIGGER BOSWORTH? n last month’s Bugle we lauded the commencement of Davidsons’ 41 home Welford Road development. IThe project, which includes a new doctors’ surgery building as the developer’s community contribution, has been looming amidst much speculation, for almost three years. So, the start of ground works on site at the beginning of last month was generally welcomed. However, concerns have been raised that assurances that the surgery element would be tackled first don’t seem to be reflected in the work that is going ahead. Instead, the site of the new surgery building seems to have been excluded from the initial ground works that are presently being carried out. Concerns have also been raised regarding the bird-proofing of the hedge at the back of the site, which suggests that Davidsons are looking at the possibility of extending the site into the fields to the east of the permitted area. At present the bird-proofing has been justified to enable the developer to remove the section of hedgerow in order to establish an off-site storage compound in the adjacent field. However, if approved for development later, this could see more housing stretching across to Butt Lane.

BYGONE BOSWORTH Images from the Historical Society’s Archive Collection

Spot the changes on the High Street! To orientate ourselves the cameraman of old set up his instrument where the pedestrian crossing is sited today. At this time, the cottage with the ‘eye-brow’ dormer window was soon to be replaced by the much more substantial 10 High Street, although the ‘entry’ to the side remains today. The Cherry Tree looks fairly substantial itself in our picture, which was taken about 1908, but was also soon destined to be replaced by a modern ‘of-the-era’ 1930s pub. Stepped back from the roadside to accommodate a sizeable forecourt car park for his motorcar, the new pub catered for the burgeoning motoring drinker. The new Cherry Tree was in turn uncerimoniously swept aside in 2000, despite a forelorn attempt in the late 1980s to bolster flagging custom by serving Double Diamond and Watney’s Red Barrel beers and employing a bevy of topless barmaids. Today, all trace of the pub has gone and the view from this spot opens up to reveal the entrance to Cherry Tree Close.
