Manor Park, New Zealand
Manor Park, a northern suburb of Lower Hutt City, lies in the south of the North Island of New Zealand. The suburb separates the western bank of the Hutt River from State Highway 2. History At the end of 1925, W.H. George auctioned his Manor Park Estate, which at the time was part of Haywards. Much of it was subdivided and sold as township sections. Part of the land was purchased by Karori Golf Club, which renamed itself to Manor Park Golf Club after moving there and opening a course in 1926. A flood in April 1931 swept away Manor Park Bridge, a private bridge that connected the suburb with Stokes Valley. The flood also caused damage to the Manor Park Golf Course. The suburb was previously home to Manor Park School, which has admission records dating back to 1962. The school was declared closed on 15 February 1996. Landmarks Manor Park is home to the Manor Park Golf Club. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
