The Park Estate is a private residential housing estate to the west of Nottingham city centre, England. It was built on the former deer park of Nottingham Castle. Its construction was controversial as many saw the land as public land. The Park estate is noted for its Victorian architecture, although many of the houses have been altered, extended or converted into flats. The estate uses gas street lighting; believed to be one of the largest networks in Europe. ==History== The first domestic building in the park was built in 1809. Built opposite the castle gatehouse, the building served as the vicarage to St. Mary's Church. Despite much opposition from locals, who regarded the area as public land, major development began in the 1820s under the 4th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne. Development continued under the 5th Duke, who appointed architect Thomas Chambers Hine to design many of the houses. In 1938, the 8th Duke sold The Park to Oxford University. In 1986 negotiations between The Park Residents Association and Oxford University Chest resulted in the ownership of the Estate being transferred to the newly formed Company: The Nottingham Park Estate Limited. 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「The Park Estate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
