Estate

[edit]

does anyone know when this estate was built probley 1950s? reply. user:jonjoe —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonjoe (talk • contribs) 04:48, 8 January 2008


From what I hear jonjoe.. the estate was begun pre-war, apparently during the war it became somewhat a 'tent city' for locally based servicemens families. The majority of the estate was complete in the early 1950's. Thats info from word of mouth. But I am sure the town hall has planning and development maps and info from prior, during and after construction.

You would'nt know anyone with photies of the 'windmill' on Westcliffe Drv btw ;)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.177.148 (talk) 19:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


added some refs to the article. And a quote from a .pdf file, and then ref'd link to said .pdf file ... I think I should have made this an external link ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.177.148 (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have already added the "in use" tag to clean up the article. The link you added I will incorporate into the article later. If you have any other information let me know and I will add it in for you. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 17:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just asking cos a idea in my head about if i went back in time to see if Grange Park would be like the Lyon estates in Back to the Future in 1955 jonjoe.

lol jonjoe....

Fair enough Tangerine. I'll post any further links and quotes here aye. All the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.177.148 (talk) 17:41, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the Grange Park 'housing Esate' began construction in the 1930's, according to the entry on Taywood Homes ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taywood_Homes 80.192.177.148 (talk) 01:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is though an unsourced entry on wikipedia. The sources you gave which I have added all say the 1940s with the 50th anniversary being in July 1998. I suppose it could be that some of the housing was started earlier, but at the moment I would rather go on what we have as a reliable source. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 01:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Tangerine, I checked on the 'Taywood Homes' firms history. And it appears there is another Grange Park located in Essex. Fair play to you, you made the right decision to ignore the reference. But.... My mam (Born 1930) who is from the town (Green Hill + Grange Park) insists there was Corporation housing on todays Grange Park (Dinmore Ave) prior to WWII. Maybe It was not until after the War that the Estate was founded. Someone really needs to visit the Council planning office to confirm this. All the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.177.148 (talk) 16:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The land it sits on was originally part of Poulton-le-Fylde and was sold to Blackpool Council. The first houses were built in late forties and original part of estate completed by early 1960's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jezzabel27 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
