Piccadilly is a small Village in the North Warwickshire district of the county of Warwickshire in England. It is located near to the larger village of Kingsbury, and is four miles south of Tamworth. ==History== Piccadilly was built in 1904 to house miners who worked at the nearby Kingsbury Colliery and the village was built on land belonging to the mine.〔 It consisted of two rows of three- storey houses along one main street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Piccadilly Mining Heritage )〕 Piccadilly earned its name from Piccadilly in London, which was the home of Colonel Dibley, one of the village's founders. Dibley asked the miners what they would like to call their new village, but when nobody could think of an appropriate name, he chose Piccadilly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Kingsbury Parish Council )〕 In 1908 a clubhouse was built. It had been turned into a pub named ''The Jewel in the Crown'' but this has now been demolished and social housing built. The village remained much the same until 1947 when prefabricated housing was built to house more mineworkers. These were demolished in the early 1960s after which the local authority of the time, Tamworth Rural District Council, used the land to build council houses. These remain to the present day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Piccadilly Mining Heritage )〕 The mine was closed in 1968 and is now the Kingsbury link Business park. 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「Piccadilly, Warwickshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
