- Stonydelph
Stonydelph is a neighbourhood about 3 km south east of the centre of
Tamworth ,Staffordshire . A spelling of "Stoneydelph" is also sometimes used but the OS map of 1888 shows "Stonydelph Farm" as the only building in this area. Much of the area is based around a road named "Pennine Way".Stonydelph acquired the name "the delph" during the late 80's, which is of course a shortened version of the original.
It lies immediately north of
Wilnecote , and is regarded by some as an extension thereof. The perceived higher social status of Wilnecote and the indistinct boundaries between the two areas has given residents on the Pennine Way sub-roads the opportunity to class their address as Wilnecote. According to theRoyal Mail , Wilnecote does include some areas such asPennymoor Road ,Malham Road andFossdale Road which are politically set as areas of Stonydelph.Within "Stonydelph" are two primary schools, The Dales Community School (Fossdale Road) and Stonydelph Primary School (Crowden Road). Both of these schools cover the area of Stonydelph, and are feeder schools for nearby Belgrave High School.
Stonydelph is served by the number 7 and X74 Bus route in Tamworth and lies next to Junction 10, M42.
