Modern Fernwood expansion has taken place on the site of the old Balderton Hospital which closed in 1993, with street names based on names of former hospital wards and employees.[4][5][6]
Following years of planning, preparatory work was started in 2023 to create an extension and bypass-link from the A1 road near Fernwood, via Middlebeck to the A46 at Farndon.[7][8]
