Moor Grange Estate is a housing estate in the West Park area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was built in the 1950s on reclaimed farmland.〔http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=5089〕〔http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=2007111_162672〕 Work on the Moor Grange Estate began in 1955.〔http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=5088&DISPLAY=FULL〕 It was originally owned by the local council, and was leased by the council to tenants as a council estate. Most of the housing on the estate is now privately owned. Moor Grange does not suffer the crime problems of other council estates (including the nearby Hawksworth Estate). House prices on the estate are high, and Moor Grange is considered a 'model council estate'. This may be due the affluence of the area in which it is situated. Moor Grange backs onto the smaller Spen Estate which is another council estate in West Park. For details on the original planning of the estate see the Leodis website.() ==Education== Moor Grange was also the name of a boys county secondary school sited across the ring road.〔http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=200851_166682〕 In the latter stages of its life it was renamed Moor Grange High School. It had a football pitch, a cricket square, a rugby field, an athletics area including long jump, high jump and pole vault, a running track of 440 yards and two tennis courts. It also boasted a gym and its assembly hall was frequently used as an additional gym. It has since been demolished and a HM Revenue and Customs House has been built on the site. On the junction of Spen Lane and Butcher Hill is West Park County Secondary (Girls) School. This building is still used by the education authority, but not as a school. Abbey Grange School is located on Butcher Hill near to Hawksworth. Abbey Grange School was named after a former Kirkstall Abbey Mannor.〔http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=20031031_24009341&DISPLAY=FULL〕 The School was opened on 11 October 1952 by the then Princess Royal Princess Mary, Countess of Harewood.〔http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=2004317_54966372〕 For a picture of the now demolished Moor Grange County Secondary School see the Leodis Database () 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「Moor Grange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
