Buslingthorpe is an area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It lies about one mile north of the city centre. Much of the housing in the area was demolished as slum clearance in the 1950s. Buslingthorpe was an ecclesiastical parish from 1849 to 1955.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Buslingthorpe EP )〕 Between 1870 and 1872 it was a chapelry in the parish of Leeds, with a population of 4,548 living in 998 houses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Descriptive Gazetteer entry for Buslingthorpe )〕 The Church of St Michael was built in 1852-1854 on Buslingthorpe Lane, and demolished in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The architect was O. W. Burleigh of Leeds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Buslingthorpe St Michael )〕 A writer in ''Notes and Queries'' in 1932 noted that the placename Buslingthorpe (shared with Buslingthorpe in Lincolnshire) contains 13 different letters, exactly half the alphabet, none repeated and with no hyphenation. The writer wondered if it was unique. The same question was raised earlier in Strand Magazine in 1921. Buslingthorpe's recreation ground was named Norma Hutchinson Park in 2009 to commemorate Jamaican-born councillor Norma Hutchinson who died in 2004. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buslingthorpe, Leeds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
