Popley, Marnel Park & Everest Park

Popley, Marnel Park & Everest Park

About

The vast majority of Popley was built in the 1960’s and 1970’s, home to many from the London overspill. In recent years Popley has benefitted from redevelopment, with the new Everest Park being built off Popley Way and Marnel Park between Popley and the village of Sherborne St John. Once again, this is an ever expanding area with the latest development being called Strawberry Fields. In 2007 the Everest Community College was built, to help educate the local children.
