[2] What is now Manningham was previously an estate called 'Manningham Lodge', used for training horses.

[3] In 1926, the then owner of 'Manningham', Dr AH Bennett, dedicated a portion of his estate to be a playground.

That portion of land continues to be a playground and is today known as Bennett Memorial Reserve on North East Road.

A further portion of the land was reserved for housing for members of the 'learned professions' who had fallen on hard times.

[4] In 1934, the rest of the estate was subdivided and sold off and called 'Manningham'.
