Everything about Far Cotton totally explained
Far Cotton, many years ago a village in its own right, is a district of the
English county town of
Northampton.
Far Cotton is due south of the town centre, beyond
Cotton End - hence the 'Far', and south of the
River Nene. It is roughly rectangular in shape with the river and canal forming its northern boundary, the railway is western edge; with the
A5076 ring road to its south and the
A508 road and
Delapré Abbey's park to its east. Administratively Far Cotton is in the
civil parish of
Hardingstone and the
Borough of Northampton.
Far Cotton expanded with the arrival of the railway at Northampton in the first half of the nineteenth century; the original line was entirely south of the Nene while the medieval town was north of the river. As part of the regeneration of the town, overseen by the West Northamptonshire Development Corporation, many brownfield sites in Far Cotton are undergoing redevelopment in the first decade of the twenty-first century.
