Can you believe that Stockley Park, this sprawling business estate and park, was once a place of gravel extraction and landfill? Yes, today, it’s a hub of activity, home to over twenty companies and corporations, but this place has a fascinating past. Stockley Park sits right in the middle of a story that started over 6,000 years ago. Archeologists found an axe from the Bronze Age, suggesting a burial ground and settlement had been close to Stockley Park’s grounds. The land was owned by the Dawley Manor and the Colham Manor and was later used for gravel extraction for a good part of the 20th century. It was only when the need for a sustainable space arose that Stockley Park was born. Stockley Park, as we know it today, was officially opened by the Prince of Wales in 1986. A testament to Sir Stuart Lipton’s vision, the site was designed as a business park, with recreational space for the community. It stands as a reminder that even from the most unlikely places, something beautiful and beneficial can bloom.
