that dotty black rectangle that breaches the 'boundary' road but not included in the key - is that an existing something? Very stylish plan!
From the masterplan for Corby new town, 1951, by William Holford's practice, a drawing showing how the original village had already grown significantly as a result of the Stewarts' and Lloyds' steelworks. New town designation was intended to regularise further growth and to add amenities.
