Chapel Ash is a small area in Wolverhampton surrounded by the City Centre, Whitmore Reans & Merridale. The area is most noted for being the home of Marston's, where the Park Brewery produces the well-known Banks's range of ales ==History== Owing to its prominent position on the London to Holyhead road, Chapel Ash has always been an important thoroughfare, though it didn't reach its current stage of urbanisation until the 1870s. The name, 'Chapel Ash' is believed to refer to a Chapel & burial ground referred to in the 16th century, to the west of the town centre – William Yates' '1775 Map of the County of Stafford' has the name written next to the junction of the roads from Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury, the possible site of the medieval chapel. In 1823, Darlington Street had been constructed, linking Wolverhampton's 'High Green' (now Queen Square) to the westward route out of the town – still rural at this time. Some twenty six years later, St Mark's Church was constructed. By 1871, the majority of the buildings we see today in Chapel Ash were in place. From 1875 onwards, Park Brewery was up and running. The area was quite prosperous until the coming of the Ring Road, which cut Chapel Ash off from the town centre during the 1970s.〔Chapel Ash Conservation Area Appraisal & Management Proposals (March 2007) http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/4673C186-5F2D-49B8-998E-585EB9C68100/0/chapel_ash_caa.pdf〕 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「Chapel Ash」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
