From The Explorer, the newsletter of the Warminster Open Spaces Society (WOSPS), Friday 8th January 1999:
If a piece of ground is covered in rubbish and unattractive, there is a stronger case for building on it. Sadly, Primrose Wood (by Safeways car park) could have been saved from development but the fact that it gathered rubbish (and young people at night time) sealed its fate.
Note from dannyhowellnet: The Primrose Wood referred to above is what was the copse (near the Western Car Park) west of Flers Court – the name Primrose Wood arising from the fact that Primrose Lane, which connects Weymouth Street with Sambourne Road, ran alongside the southern boundary of the copse. Not to be confused with Primrose Wood north of Home Farm at Boreham (Primrose Wood at that location being a local name for Temple’s Plantation). The development at Primrose Wood near the south-west entrance to the Western Car Park was named Coppice Close.
