From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greenfield is a small village on the outskirts of Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. It has a small population of approximately 2741 people.
Its main claim to fame is possibly the hidden Gatso speed camera.
[edit] History
Greenfield is best known for its history of paper making. The current Greenfield Business Centre is based in the original paper mill building.
The road leading from Greenfield to Holywell is the road which passes the St Winfred's Well, which Holywell is known for.
Amongst the shops there is Greenfield pharmacy, set up in August 2005 to serve the community.
The speed camera near the railway bridge, leading to Bagillt, was voted the worst-placed speed camera in the UK by the Association of British Drivers. An irony of this fact is that Arrive Alive now conduct their Speed Awareness courses at the Greenfield Business Centre.
