Ewloe (; (ウェールズ語:Ewlo), (:ˈɛʊlɔ)) is a small town in Flintshire, Wales, contiguous with Hawarden and Buckley and near to Queensferry and Shotton. Situated close to the Flintshire/Cheshire sector of the Wales-England border, Ewloe forms part of Deeside. The A55 expressway passes through the town and its most notable landmark is Ewloe Castle. At the 2001 Census, the population was 4,862 (2,390 males, 2,472 females). Ewloe ceased being a town in its own name with all of the population being listed under Hawarden. The electoral ward remained with a total population taken at the 2011 Census of 5,420.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 )〕 In 2004 professional footballer Michael Owen bought a small street of houses, Austen Close in Ewloe, for his extended family. He had grown up and owned a house nearby. ==Economy== Ewloe grew rapidly during the late 1990s and early 2000s and is now the home of the internet based Moneysupermarket.com and construction company Redrow. HSBC Bank along with many other firms can be found in Ewloe, who now occupy what used to be the old Alyn and Deeside District Council Office. The De Vere Group chain of hotels hosts the 'St David's Hotel' just off the A55 road network in Ewloe. The St David's Park housing estate was built in the 1990s and is known as being a prestigious estate popular with young professionals and families respectively. Increasing numbers of new property and the resulted increase to population in Ewloe has led to the opening of a new Co-op supermarket, despite the original Co-op opposite the Ewloe Post Office, in Ewloe, which clearly starts at Wood Lane (see the sign on the corner of Wood Lane and The Hwy, this is the boundary of Ewloe / Hawarden, so the Co-op is 100m inside of Ewloe), still being open. Local residents have shown opposition to plans for the construction of a "superpub" complex in Ewloe by Marston's plc.However, the council have approved plans to build the superpub in St Davids Park, which then opened in September 2010, but was damaged in an Arson attack early morning on 6 February 2011.〔(Controversial £3m Flintshire superpub back on )〕〔(Arson attack on Ewloe super pub )〕 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「Ewloe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
