Delamere Park is an English parkland and housing estate situated in Cuddington, near Northwich, Cheshire.
General History
Developed during the 1970's, the Park was built on the site of the Wilbraham's family manor, which they owned from 1784-1939. During World War II, Delamere Park became an army transit camp occupying not only British soldiers but also thousands of Americans who had arrived in preparation for the forthcoming D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. After the war, the army huts used to accommodate the soldiers were transformed into houses for the use of many local residents who were named on the Northwich Rural District Council's housing list. This list included various people who were relatives of serving Polish soldiers.
Today
The Park has a good mix of high quality housing in a secure environment where residents and their guests have automatic and sole access to leisure facilities including a swimming pool, cricket nets, tennis and squash courts, through a Private Licensed Sports and Social Club. Residents can also participate in many thriving and diverse Community Groups which meet the needs of a wide age range. The Park is home to 60s Rock Band The Four of Diamonds( [1] )[].
In March 2004 a fire destroyed the Club building. It was redesigned and reopened some two years later. In March, 2007, and in common with other areas of Vale Royal District, several plaques were erected in Delamere Park illustrating the areas history.
Book
On the 13th June 2007 it was announced that CC Publishing were preparing to publish a book chronicling the Park's detailed history; focusing mainly on its time as a World War II army base and its subsequent accommodation for Polish militant's families. [2]
