More about this scene
The road extends to the now defunct railway line as 20th-century Countesthorpe balloons in an amoebic sprawl westwards towards Cosby and Whetstone. In the residual hedgerows and trees lie clues to an 18th-century rural landscape; the enclosures of the 1760s were hated by John Clare, the Northamptonshire poet, for its deleterious effect on the lives of ordinary village people, and for its destruction of the open fields.
