Mackworth, Derby
Mackworth is a suburb and electoral ward of the city of Derby, England. Is it located on the north-west of the city near to Markeaton Park and the suburb of Mickleover. It is also known as Mackworth Estate, to distinguish it from the nearby Mackworth village. The Mackworth ward also covers the New Zealand area as well as Mackworth itself.
==History==
The area was developed during the 1950s (the first house completed in 1953) and was one of the largest housing estates to be built in the city. Mackworth's most noticeable landmark () is a large water tower owned by Severn Trent and can be seen from much of the estate. The estate was home to Derby College, Prince Charles Avenue Campus. These buildings were formerly Mackworth Secondary School and Parkfields Cedars Girls Grammar School, subsequently combined to form Parkfields Comprehensive School, which closed in the 1980s, the building then being turned over to the local tertiary college .
Today the majority of homes on the estate are now owner occupied, though there is still a significant stock of social housing available. Housing density is very low, there are plentiful areas of green open space, and there is very little terraced/apartment housing. Amenities and facilities for local residents include shops, dentist, doctors, churches etc. A branch of the city library opened in late March 2010.
All but one (the one exception being the main artery of the Estate, Prince Charles Avenue) of the road names in Mackworth are named after places in London, for example Knightsbridge, Wembley Gardens, Bayswater Close and Marylebone Crescent.
