Sinfin is a southern suburb of Derby, England, historically it was a separate village. It contained the main centre of Rolls-Royce, on Nightingale Road. It still encompasses the housing developments of new Sinfin, which merge imperceptibly with those at Stenson Fields, over the city boundary. ==History== Sinfin is recorded in the Domesday Book produced in 1086〔''Domesday Book: A Complete Transliteration''. London: Penguin, 2003. p.748 ISBN 0-14-143994-7〕 as Sedenfeld as a manor that belonged to baron Henry de Ferrers. Mention is made of two carucates of land assessed to the geld; land for one plough and two villeins having another and of of meadow. The land was valued at ten shillings. Its undertenant was named William, later William de Rolleston, a vassal to Henry de Ferrers, who displaced a Saxon thegn named Ulfkell.〔The Victoria History of the County of Derby, William Page, Ed., volume one, 1905, Archibald Constable and Co. Ltd.〕 Today the Ferrers name is still seen in Sinfin. Sinfin now has two distinct areas - the "new" and the "old"; it also merges with the Stenson Fields district of Derby to the south. The "old" part is bordered to the north by the Derby - Crewe railway. Here, at the outset of WW2, was built a substantial ordnance depot. This was protected by a series of pillboxes, gun emplacements and barrage balloons. Most of this is now built over but some evidence remains. It once had a railway passenger station Sinfin Central railway station at which passenger trains last called in May 1993. 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「Sinfin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
