Spring Cottage, North Kilworth
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 31 Mar 2021
This delightful thatched cottage on Cranmer Lane looks idyllic nowadays but in the years after 1890 it would have been on the route to the village rubbish tip in the area now known as The Bogs. It was grade II listed in 1992 and is of 17th century origin, or possibly earlier, with later alterations. A snippet extracted from the Market Harborough Advertiser of December 1938, and reprinted in the North Kilworth News in 2018, tells of a Mr James F. Oxley who lived in this house at the time and retired after working as a signalman at Welford & North Kilworth station for 40 years
