Hale End is a locality in East London in the borough of Waltham Forest, very near Woodford Green, two miles from Tottenham and one mile from Walthamstow. It adjoins Highams Park in the E4 postal district. Much of Highams Park until the late 19th century used to be called Hale End. Hale End railway station was opened in 1873 and renamed Highams Park-Hale End railway station in 1894. Famous old buildings in the area consisted of Beech Hall on the Hale End Road, and the De Hales Manor on the Vincent Road next to Highams Park school; the big house was demolished after the Second World War. The Royal Oak public house is one of the finest-looking buildings in the area still standing, built in 1906 on the Hale End Road. The Regal cinema also stands on the Hale End Road, opened in 1911 as the Electric Theatre and closed in 1971; it is now a grade II-listed building. Oak Hill in Hale End used to be the only road that led to Highams Park Lake, until Handsworth Avenue and Falmouth Avenue was built in the late 19th/early 20th century. The famous "Hale End Road" stretches from Wadham Bridge, next to the North Circular Road, down to Highams Park Broadway and Highams Park railway station (renamed from Highams Park-Hale End to Highams Park Station in recent years). The Hale End Road was shortened, having originally stretched to Chingford, and renamed the Larkshall Road. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Oak, Hale End and Highams Park, Woodford Green, IG8 9LN )〕 Population: 11,355 (Hale End and Highams Park ward, 2011 census) Estimated 11,600 2014 == History == Originally the name Hale End covered a larger part of this part of London stretching from the North Circular Road (Wadham Bridge) all the way down to Clivedon Road, and to Sheriden Road approaching Chingford Hatch next to Highams Park Lake, but this changed at the beginning of the twentieth century when much of the area was renamed "Highams Park". Many references about the history of Highams Park are about Walthamstow ("Highams Benstead a hamlet of Walthamstow" also previously known as Haysham Town located just over a mile from Highams Park present location "The former Hale End"). Old maps give detail to this fact. The area was a clearing originally in the forest called ‘North End’ or ‘Wood End’. In 1285 a Walter de la Hale lived there but "Hale End" became used as the name only in the 17th when a Thomas Hale lived there. 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「Hale End」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
