Dukinfield — Attraction in Tameside

I love this park alot it's very nice and peaceful. Used to be a sanctuary for me until I started getting harassed by the local kids. Some people mentioned wardens:yes, it has wardens, apparently the resident teenagers who spend almost all hours at the park in gangs waiting for me to come and when I do they chase me and harass me or I can hear them calling me names and shouting for me to get out of their park... Their park! It's my park too it's not their property. I feel that groups of teens need to be monitored by adults. Then again some of the parents are just as bad. Got assaulted by one of their mothers accusing me of recording when I wasn't at all. She threw my phone twice on the ground and it no longer worked from after that day. Nothing was done as usual. Anyway as for that horrible experience I got accosted by a man's huge dog who was off leash. It jumped at me and tried to get my food. I shouted for help but neither my friend or the owner of the dog came to my aid and just watched and thought it was funny. Almost lost my food and got knocked over. As for the park itself I think the (laughably called) climbing frames need to be better. Good old multi level frames with bars and ladders and a slide to get down. Not these stupid funny twisty things to walk along and disk things attached to chains that look like you'd fall off them of you stepped one foot on them. Needs to be street lights for when it gets dark and more bins. One bench needs to be fixed. Needs to be more cctv cameras rather than just one that apparently rotates. They couldn't get proof to get the blighter who assaulted me done for hurting my right arm and...

The earliest evidence of human activity around Dukinfield comes from a collection of four flints from the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. The artefacts were discovered on the site of Dukinfield Hall and have been taken as evidence of a prehistoric settlement on the site.[4] There is no further evidence of activity in the area until the Roman period. A 3rd century bronze Roman coin, from the reign of Emperor Tetricus I was discovered in the town.[5]

Dukinfield means "RAVEN of the FIELD" and derives from the Old English duce and feld.[6]

Early records show the township was included in the fee of Dunham Massey. It was held by Matthew de Bramhall in about 1190 and after that by a family who took the name "De Dokenfeld". The family lived at the moated Dukinfield Old Hall, which originated from after the Norman conquest and was rebuilt in Tudor times, remaining the home of the Dukinfields till the 18th century, after which it became derelict.[7] During the English Civil War, Colonel Robert Duckenfield[8] of Dukinfield Hall was a noted commander in the New Model Army.[9] The baronetcy, Dukinfield of Dukinfield, Cheshire was created in 1665 for Robert Dukinfield, son of Colonel Robert Dukinfield. The Dukinfields held the manor for five centuries until the widow of Sir William Dukinfield Daniel married the artist, John Astley, in 1767. In 1848 his descendant, colliery owner Francis Dukinfield Palmer Astley,[10] was the lord of the manor. Dukinfield Lodge was built by the Astleys on a hill overlooking the...
