acres of land in Manchester for use as a park. It is now called Broadhurst Park. George Percival Daintry ran the North Rode Estate until 1923 and then decided to sell the whole property. The reason for the sale as stated in his obituary was high taxes. All of the houses and cottages except Oaklands were put on the market in 50 lots. Many of the tenant farmers bought their own properties. George kept Oaklands and he lived there until his death in 1936. The sale notice is shown.
