Weldon, Northamptonshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Welton, Northamptonshire.
Weldon is a village in the English midlands county of Northamptonshire.
It is two miles due east of the town centre of Corby and is administered by Corby Borough Council.
While still a defined village, as of 2005, it is under great pressure to expand and consequently risks becoming a suburb of – or engulfed by – its neighbour. Weldon is at the crossroads of the north-south A43 trunk road which bypasses it to the west and the A427 that, locally, provides a route to Market Harborough westbound and Oundle eastbound; traffic on this road is "calmed" by an extensive scheme.The 'world famous' King's Arms public house was demolished and replaced with housing.
