Everything about Denbigh Milton Keynes totally explained
Denbigh is a district in
Milton Keynes,
England, to the north of
Fenny Stratford and on the eastern side of the
West Coast Main Line and northern side of the
Marston Vale Line, from
Bletchley proper. It is in the civil parish of
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and is generally regarded as part of Bletchley. The overall district has five sub districts. The district names are planning designations that have persisted without ever being changed to the style "North Denbigh" etc. as is the norm elsewhere in Britain.
Denbigh North
This district includes the 22,000 all-seater for
Milton Keynes Dons F.C. and an indoor basketball arena for the
Milton Keynes Lions basketball team, as well as
ASDA and
IKEA superstores. The stores were open for business by the end of 2005. The football stadium opened in July 2007 and was ready for the start of the
2007/08 season, while all associated developments are expected to be completed sometime in
2008.
The development is on the former site of Denbigh Sports Ground and Denbigh North Leisure, an entertainment complex which was home to the
Sanctuary Music Arena.
Denbigh East
Denbigh East is an employment area, best known as the home of
Marshall Amplification.
Denbigh West
Denbigh West is another employment area.
Mount Farm
This district is an industrial/employment area. The Milton Keynes central sorting office is here, with the post-code MK1 1AA. Most internet mapping sites assume that this means that it's the centre of Milton Keynes and mark it according. It is actually about three miles south of
Central Milton Keynes (which has the MK9 postcode).
Granby
This is a small area, just north of Denbigh Stadium. It is mainly industrial, but includes a
mosque and a small, isolated, council housing block (that is planned for demolition in the
expansion plans for Milton Keynes).
The West Coast Main Line bridge (number 158) over
Watling Street near here bears a plaque that explains the first phase of the
London and Birmingham Railway line terminated here. At this point, passengers transferred to stage coaches for onward transfer by road to Birmingham.
Denbigh Hall
The original Denbigh Hall no longer exists, and its site is now in
West Bletchley rather than in Denbigh. The coming of the London-Birmingham line separated the Hall from the bulk of its lands that stretched towards
Simpson — these are the modern Denbigh district. The site of the Hall, now buried, is near the Whaddon Way/Melrose Avenue junction. Nearby, Denbigh Hall Farm was centred at the junction of Watling Street and Standing Way: there's a small industrial area here now and this retains the Denbigh Hall name.
Network Rail continues to use this name (Denbigh Hall) for its
marshalling yards north of
Bletchley railway station.
