Lancaster Way, WORCESTER PARK, KT4 8HP

Mayflower Park has been created on the site of a former sewage works in the suburbs of south west London. The park opened in 2006. The buildings to the right of the image form part of The Hamptons housing development, which occupies the rest of the former sewage works site.

Green Lane is part of an ancient green lane that used to connect Malden Green with Lower Morden. It can be seen on a map of Surrey from 1762, but not by name. Here beyond the hedge on the right is a horse pasture while to the left is what was Worcester Park Sewage Works and is now the exclusive Hamptons development.

A large new development of grey boarded buildings. There are several different styles, but all of a northern European appearance.

In the early 20th century, the Epsom Sewage Farm occupied a small site immediately south of Green Lane. By the 1960s what was now Worcester Park Sewage Works had expanded southwards to cover about half the area now occupied by The Hamptons and after that it further expanded to the east and west. After its closure in the 1990s it was redeveloped to create the Hamptons in a style reminiscent of New England. At the centre of The Hamptons lies a 'town hall', Maple Lodge, which was designed to be the hub for the whole community. Part of the development is a 31 acres new green space called Mayflower Park, which includes a grass amphitheatre for performances and an area of five wetlands forming a nature reserve. The edge of Mayflower Park is seen here.
