Westlands, Staffordshire
Westlands, more commonly known as "The Westlands", is a suburban area and ward in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
The boundaries of The Westlands were defined in the early 1940s
The design was based on 'model village' developments in the 1890s from George Cadbury. Cadbury was responsible for the Birmingham based Bournville, built around his factory.
The designs in Bournville became a blueprint for many model villages in Britain as they recognised the benefits of open space within town planning.
Newcastle Borough Council hired S.A. Wilmot who was an architect for Bournville Garden City to come up with plans that formed the basis for The Westlands.
This map shows the plans for the estate and existing boundaries for what is considered 'The Westlands'. The documents related to the area can be found at The Brampton Museum in Newcastle under Lyme.
