Everything about Deanshanger totally explained
Deanshanger is a small village and civil
parish in the southern part of the English
county of
Northamptonshire, just north of the town and
Unitary Authority of
Milton Keynes. The village is in the
District Council area of
south Northamptonshire where from 2007 is was joined with the parish of Wicken to form Deanshanger ward, returning 2 councillors.
Whilst not the original population centre of the parish, from the late
18th Century the coming of the
Grand Union Canal to the east made it an agricultural industrial centre causing it to grow quickly. This growth accelerated with the building of the
London and Birmingham Railway in the first half of the
19th Century which passed through the nearby villages of
Wolverton,
Bletchley and
Roade. From the
1820s the main industry in the village was an iron
foundry and later an
iron oxide works. This gave some of the surrounding area a red colouration from the oxide dust, which was mostly used to produce pigments. However, in 1999, the works closed and was demolished. By 2007 it had been replaced by houses. Extensive remedial work was needed to reverse the harmful effects of the previous industrial use of the site. Deanshanger sits within the Milton Keynes and South Midlands Growth Area, and in addition to the construction of several new housing estates, land has also been designated for light industrial use.
