SITE 192 FOWKE STREET RECREATION GROUND
OS REF:SK585128
Owners: Rothley Parish Council
Date: 2nd February 2007
This site has still to be recorded.
It is used as a football field with a play area with swings etc. It is also the proposed site for a Youth Club with portacabins to be placed on the site of the old pumping station, which was re-sited in Site 166 in 2004/5. There is a lot of opposition to the youth club site.
The field is surrounded by trees but doubt that they are of sufficient girth to record as ancient.
