Firwood Park is a suburban area of Chadderton in Greater Manchester. It is located a little over one mile to the west of Chadderton's commercial centre on Middleton Road and is contiguous with the Mills Hill, Chadderton Park and Middleton Junction areas of the town. Firwood Park was built in 1990 on a vast tract of land which was formerly known as Chadderton Roughs.〔P10 Lawson, Michael; Johnson, Mark (1997), Images of England: Chadderton, Tempus, ISBN 0-7524-0714-7〕 ==History== In 1844 James Cheetham built the Firwood Mill at the side of the Rochdale Canal close to Mills Hill. His family lived at Firwood House which was set in its own grounds on the other side of the canal, close to the industrial hamlet of Drummer Hill. This house was demolished many decades ago but its name is perpetuated in the Firwood Park estate, at one time the largest private residential development in Europe. Firwood Mill was demolished in 1960. 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「Firwood Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
