Nordens is an suburban area of Chadderton in Greater Manchester.〔Lawson, Michael; Johnson, Mark (1990), Looking Back at Chadderton, Oldham Leisure Services, ISBN 0-902809-23-7〕 in a valley archaically known as Hunt Clough.〔http://www.chadderton-historical-society.org.uk/current%20newsletters.htm〕 It is located around the junction of Middleton Road and Hunt Lane, around 0.7 miles to the west of Chadderton's commercial centre on Middleton Road and is contiguous with the Chadderton Park, Firwood Park and Stock Brook areas of the town. Semi-rural Foxdenton lies to the south. Nordens Lane, a short stretch of which still exists as Nordens Street, was one of Chadderton's oldest roads and was one of the main routes leading to the nearby Chadderton Hall manor house. Suburban housing now lies on the land the lane went through.〔http://www.chadderton-historical-society.org.uk/current%20newsletters.htm〕 The Radclyffe School lies in the vicinity of this district. The name Nordens derives from North Dene or Valley, and is commemorated in the name North Dene Park, a street name in the district.〔http://www.chadderton-hs.freeuk.com/currentnewsletter.htm〕 The Hunt Lane Tavern is a public house in the area, dating back to 1854.〔P.30 Chadderton Pubs And Their Licencees 1750 - 1999, Magee Rob (1986) ISBN 978 185216 134 7〕 Adjacent to the pub lies the former Nordens Branch of the Co-operative Wholesale Society dating from the early 20th century although the building is now used for other retail purposes.〔http://www.chadderton-hs.freeuk.com/currentnewsletter.htm〕 The extensive Chadderton Cemetery, opened in 1857 lies in close vicinity at Spring Brook, a stream that flows through the area. The Spring Brook Works, a major finishing factory, also lay at Spring Brook just off Nordens Road. It was built in 1875, being demolished in 1985. Surburban housing now covers this area.〔http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Chadderton/MiddletonRdCemetery.shtml〕〔http://www.chadderton-hs.freeuk.com/page3-chadd-mills.htm〕 In 1914 the branch railway line (now defunct) to Chadderton Coal and Mineral Yard opened necessitating the realignment of Hunt Lane so as to enter Middleton Road further west. Thus it no longer faced the Hunt Lane Tavern pub. This confuses people to this day with the Hunt Lane Chippy and the Hunt Lane Tavern no longer being adjacent to the lane of that name.〔http://www.chadderton-historical-society.org.uk/current%20newsletters.htm〕 ==References== 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「Nordens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
