Building the village shop, Highfields Highfields (also known as Highfields Caldecote - the old village of Caldecote is a mile to the south) is a rapidly expanding community. At the time the photo was taken the village had just undergone a major development that had seen its population treble; only then did the developers start to build the village shop, saving the residents a drive of several miles. The road through the village has 14 notoriously vicious speed bumps; the mini roundabout is also part of the traffic 'calming' measures.
