Well Close

WELL CLOSE

The development at Well Close took place on what were the old brick works at Leigh.  At the entrance from Lower Green, the first half a dozen or so houses were built in the 1970s.  However, the main development at Well Close took place around 1992.  There are two newer houses – which sit back from the road – built later – ca 2000 – on the site of a former cottage near the railway track which was beyond repair.

On the left, just beyond Kiln Lane, a further two large detached houses were built on available land after the main 1992 development of Well Close.  These two houses were built by R C Britten on the land where the electrical sub-station once stood – both were four bedroom, two bathroom properties, incorporating the blue diamonds in the brickwork which is evident in the walls surrounding all Place as in other brickwork around the village.
