Turnfurlong (also known historically as Turn Furlong〔(Image of Turnfurlong in 1906 )〕) is an area of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. It is roughly defined as the area of housing that adjoins the two roads, Turnfurlong and Turnfurlong Lane (about a mile in combined length). == History == Turnfurlong Lane originated as a farm track that linked Walton hamlet with Bedgrove Farm and there was a small farmstead part way along the track called Turnfurlong, roughly in the location of what is now the back of Aylesbury Grammar School.〔Period maps held at the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies〕〔 Within the first ten years of the 20th century the new grammar school and the adjoining town cemetery were in place on the edge of Walton hamlet, and it is at about this time that the farmstead of Turnfurlong disappeared from period maps.〔 Between the First World War and the Second World War Aylesbury was expanding in population and the stretch of Turnfurlong Lane between Walton and what is now Wendover Way was built up with three-bedroomed semi-detached family homes by the bookbinders Hazell, Watson and Viney for their employees.〔Vaughan, Karl (2002) ''A Century of Aylesbury''. Swindon: WHSmith〕 It is at about this time that the adjoining Fair Mile, Walton Way and Clinton Crescent were constructed for the same purpose.〔 Following the Second World War prefabs were sited temporarily on what is now King Edward Avenue〔 and the Grange School and Aylesbury High School were both opened, though the latter is strictly within the boundary of Walton hamlet. The latter part of Turnfurlong Lane was developed in stages between the 1960s and 1990s. Worthy of note are the development around Webster Road, built on the site of the old Aylesbury United football ground, the Foxhills development and the large Bedgrove development. 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「Turnfurlong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
