West Brompton is an area of south-west London, within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. ==History== The name refers to the older locality of Brompton to the east, although the areas of South Kensington and Earl's Court separate West Brompton from its namesake. Whilst in the early part of the 20th century, the whole area between Knightsbridge and here would have been known as Brompton (), modern-day locals would not recognise Brompton and West Brompton as geographically contiguous. Today it still has its own Royal Mail London postcode of SW10 (though that also covers part of Chelsea). Two Oglala Sioux Native Americans, Surrounded By the Enemy and Red Penny, are buried in Brompton Cemetery. They were touring with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at the time of their deaths in 1887. Red Penny was Little Chief and Good Robe's eighteen-month-old son. Their daughter, Over the Sea was born in Salford during the Wild West show's tour and baptised in February 1888. St Clement's Church in Ordsall gave her the name, Frances Victoria Alexander. She was named after Frances Cleveland of America, Queen Victoria and Alexandra, the Princess of Wales. Brulé tribesman Paul Eagle Star died on 24 August 1891 at age twenty-seven due to complications from a horse-riding accident in Sheffield. Fifty-nine-year-old Oglala Sioux tribesman, Long Wolf died due to pneumonia during the Wild West Show's tour on 13 June 1892. Two months later, a two-year-old girl named White Star Ghost Dog lost her life when she fell from her mother's arms on a horse ride. All three of these Lakota Native Americans were buried in Brompton's cemetery. The coffins of Long Wolf, White Star Ghost Dog and Paul Eagle Star were exhumed to Pine Ridge and Rosebud, South Dakota in the late 1990s by their tribal descendants. 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「West Brompton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
