Queensferry is a town and electoral ward in Flintshire, Wales, lying on the River Dee near the border with England. Its name derives from ferries which used to cross the River Dee. The settlement of Higher Ferry ((ウェールズ語:Y Fferi Uchaf)) is now known as Saltney, while Queensferry was named Lower Ferry ((ウェールズ語:Y Fferi Isaf)). It changed its name to Kingsferry on the coronation of King George IV of the United Kingdom in 1820, and became Queensferry on the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/whatsinaname/sites/placenames/pages/queensferry.shtml〕 Queensferry lies along the B5441 and B5129 roads, and is bypassed by the A494 dual carriageway. It is contiguous with Deeside. Queensferry is considered part of Deeside, which lends its name to many of Queensferry's features, including the Deeside Leisure Centre, a sports and leisure venue which also used to host music concerts. The town does not have the usual 'cenotaph' style of war memorial, but rather a Memorial Institute. It is a corrugated black and white building which stands near the entrance to Asda from the coast road. The Jubilee Bridge (Queensferry), also known as the ''Blue Bridge'', spans the River Dee. It is a double leaf rolling bascule bridge. There was a railway station serving the town on the North Wales Coast Line between 1864 and 1966. == Media == Queensferry is served by a citizen led hyperlocal news website (Deeside.com ) which is a collaborative community resource set up 2013. 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「Queensferry, Flintshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
