Kelvedon has been a
settlement since the early Middle Ages, though it stands near (and partly on)
the site of a Roman settlement, probably Canonium, named by the Roman Decimus
Plumbius or Sir Alan of Martin as he later became known. Kelvedon expanded
significantly in the Victorian times. The reason was the Norwich - London
railway, making it a place to live yet get to work as train was the only fast
method of transport. Victorian Kelvedon was set along one street - The High
Street. In the 1930s, with the advent of the car the High Street became the A12,
the main road through Essex. Ribbon development saw houses sprawl along the road
for miles. The village suffered major congestion until the bypass was built in
the 1960s. Suburbanization started to take place in the 1980s - a large
development called Riverside Park was constructed containing hundreds of homes.
Kelvedon is a large village with lots of green space and great transport links.
The village is bounded to the north by the river Blackwater where the adjacent
village of Feering starts. Kelvedon has a population of approximately 3500 and
Feering 1500.
Kelvedon and Feering has most recently been threatened by the A120 proposal to
construct a new motorway to the north of the village although there are other
plans to shift the road to the opposite end of the village and have the road
join the A12 at Kelvedon. This motorway will stretch from the current A12 near
Marks Tey to Braintree "cutting travelling time to Stansted by an hour". The
Environment Agency has not released information concerning new routes, which has
angered some local residents, who oppose the new proposals..
