Distance
1
A bend in the Welland
The Welland here is firmly constrained between steel sheet piling and concrete cap stones. It is not allowed to break bounds the way it did in centuries past.
The building in the distance is the recent addition to Kettering Road, called Edwin Court.

So much vegetation
I would love to get in there and work out just how many different plants are living with their feet in the river channel. It's easy to spot Bullrush and Great Willowherb, but there is a lot more in there.

A car park
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.

Retirement living
The two wooden-clad parts of the Retirement Village are called Chater House and Sence House
All of LHA's properties here are named after rivers, with only a superficial local connection. The Chater is part of the Welland Basin, and joins that river at Ketton near Stamford. The Sence is part of the Trent capture, and joins that river as part of the Tame.
This collection of buildings, styled a Retirement Community, is built on the site of the former railway line to Rugby closed in the Beeching era, and sadly missed.

Overgrown river
The course of the Welland is very hard to spot here, the bed being dominated by summer plant growth.
