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
Today, the Park has an assortment of houses and leisure facilities such as swimming, cricket, tennis and squash. In early 2006 the Park also opened the brand new Delamere Park Clubhouse, which was completely rebuilt and refurbished after a fire destroyed the previous building in March, 2004. However, on Thursday, 1st March 2007 the Clubhouse was partially damaged after a burst pipe led to flooding.
In March, 2007, to illustate the history of Delamere Park, several plaques were erected in key areas around the estate commemorating Delamere's past with useful information and historical photographs.
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 2 army base and its subsequent accommodation for Polish militant's families. [1]
