Bosworth’s take the plunge and put relocation on the back burner as they submit an application to redevelop the Nursery site into  a Garden Centre.

A second “housing crash” means that relocation becomes even more unlikely.

The builder who brought the Co-Op site has a fall out with the Bosworths and the Garden Centre, which was trading from in front of the Bungalow becomes unviable due to boundary issues.

Bosworth’s approach a landowner around the new Burton Latimer bypass to discuss a new Garden Centre site.  The site is around the Cranford Road and A6 junction

The Co-Op land is sold to a builder for development – the Garden Centre land is not included in the sale

Sam and Tania Bosworth are married

Detailed planning consent is submitted and granted for a scheme to include only the Garden Centre and Co-Op site.

The cold frames are replaced by the first retail structure on site, a steel framed polythene clad structure to sell bedding plants from.  Remarkably that structure is still there now and houses the coffee shop.
