Delamere Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delamere Park is an English parkland and housing estate situated in Cuddington, near Northwich, Cheshire.
[edit] General History
Developed during the 1970's, the Park was built on the site of the Wilbraham's family manor, which they owned from 1784-1939. During World War II, Delamere Park became an army transit camp occupying not only British soldiers but also thousands of Americans who had arrived in preparation for the forthcoming D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. After the war, the army huts used to accommodate the soldiers were transformed into houses for the use of many local residents who were named on the Northwich Rural District Council's housing list. This list included various people who were relatives of serving Polish soldiers.
[edit] Today
Today, the Park has an assortment of houses and leisure facilities such as swimming, cricket, tennis and squash. In early 2006 the Park also opened the brand new Delamere Park Clubhouse, which was completely rebuilt and refurbished after a fire destroyed the previous building in March, 2004.
