What is now Manningham was previously an estate called 'Manningham Lodge', used for training horses. In 1926, the then owner of 'Manningham', Dr AH Bennett, dedicated a portion of his estate to be a playground. That portion of land continues to be a playground and is today known as Bennett Memorial Reserve on North East Road. A further portion of the land was reserved for housing for members of the 'learned professions' who had fallen on hard times. In 1934, the rest of the estate was subdivided and sold off and called 'Manningham'.
