A car park
Image: © Bob Harvey Taken: 7 Aug 2022
This is a paid carpark which styles itself the Welland Quarter car park. I imagine it is intended to be used by visitors to the multi-storey "retirement village" on the other side of the river. It is certainly missing from the local authorities list of car parks in the town (https://www.harborough.gov.uk/directory/13/car_parks/category/30 ), suggesting it is entirely a private enterprise. The car park is approached by a narrow road past the Lidl store from the roundabout on Kettering Road. Amusingly, if you find this car park on Google Maps, the image supplied shows the parked cars submerged in flood waters up to the wheel rims. This sits at the confluence of the Rivers Jordan and Welland, both known for exceeding their bounds in time of rainfall.
