UPPER HEYFORD: West Northamptonshire Parish #3 of 166

Описание: Now we come to the second of the two Heyfords in the district of West Northamptonshire, one of the smallest in the district and one that's main feature doesn't even belong to the parish! Intriguing to say the least. The village shares its name with one in Oxfordshire, close to Bicester...and as such, because TVI here did not film the village sign for the thumbnail, that village's sign is the one being used here.

Nonetheless, this is very much the Northamptonshire flavoured village rather than its Oxfordshire counterpart. Here you'll find a collection of houses which are home to just 77 people. One of the houses is a disused mill that was restored in 2008 after falling into disrepair in the 1960s. Whilst there's no church or school, theoretically speaking this place does have a shop!

The A45 new link road which bypasses Flore to the North meant that a brand new service station was built on the road leading to the M1 here - Oval Service Station, which is run by EuroGarages. This means despite its tiny size, you can shop here, but aside from that the village is just nothing more than a collection of farms and residential properties.

Save for one thing - the industrial park just over the motorway. 90% does not even lie within the parish boundaries (most sits in the neighbouring parish of Harpole), but it made perfect sense to include Panattoni Park in this episode - a huge 1 million square feet of logistical space in the Logistics "Golden Triangle"

This is one of Northamptonshire's smallest villages. I believe the Oxfordshire version to be a tad larger! This is UPPER HEYFORD.
