By the date of designation of Milton Keynes, it had already been virtually absorbed by the 1960s Greater London Council-built London overspill district known as the Lakes Estate. The GLC was very proud of the Lakes Estate, declaring it to be the finest in modern architecture for a working class estate, based on the Radburn design concept pioneered in Radburn, New Jersey.
The village name 'Eaton' is Old English language word referring to a farming settlement, and the whole means 'farm by a river'. It is first mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book (as simply Eaton); when it was held by Geoffrey de Montbray, and was listed as having a Mill.
Gosford is a city located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, about 76km north of the Sydney central business district. The city is situated at the northern extremity of Brisbane Water, an extensive northern branch of the Hawkesbury River estuary and Broken Bay.
The city is the administrative centre of the Central Coast region, which is the third largest urban area in New South Wales after Sydney and Newcastle. Gosford has been designated as an important growth centre under the NSW Metropolitan Strategy. The suburb's population was 3,392 in the 2011 census.
In the 2011 Census, the most common countries of birth of people in Gosford were Australia 63.6%, England 4.4%, Mainland China 2.4%, India 1.9%, New Zealand 1.9% and South Korea 1.1%. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 24.3%, Catholic 21.6%, Anglican 18.0%, Buddhism 3.4% and Uniting Church 2.8%.
History
Until European settlement, the area around Gosford was inhabited by the Guringai peoples, who were principally coastal-dwellers and the Darginüng people that inhabited the hinterland.
Along with the other land around the Hawkesbury River estuary, the Brisbane Water district was explored during the early stages of the settlement of New South Wales. In the early 19th century some pioneering European settlers began occupying the land, for timber-cutting (mainly ironbark and Australian red cedar), lime production and grazing.
The Ministry of Agriculture bought the estate in 1958, establishing Gosford Forest Park. In January 2006 the decaying castle was bought by a development company, the Boyd Partnership, which planned to turn it into private homes. In January 2008 the first residents of the new apartments moved in. The estimated repair bill was in the region of £4m, the nature of the development was selected by a government-appointed panel.
Architecture
The style of Gosford is that of Norman revival, it being one of the few examples of this in the world. It was regarded by Robin Fredden, Secretary of the National Trust in 1952 as "one of the most original buildings of the first half of the nineteenth century", he further noted that it was "reputed to be the largest pile in Ireland", having some 150 rooms. Thomas Hopper, the architect, also designed Penrhyn Castle in Wales, which is in a similar style.

Blue Lagoon - Bletchley - Milton Keynes - Buckinghamshire
http://bedfordshirewalks.co.uk
The Blue Lagoon is part of a former brickworks. Brick manufacture was a major industry in Bletchley from the 1890s until the development of Milton Keynes in the 1970s.
The area of the nature reserve was previously the Water Eaton pit, now known as the Blue Lagoon. The lagoon is around 60 feet deep, and, as our video shows, is used extensively by a local diving group, the Milton Keynes Sub-Aqua Club, as a training area.
The diving club has placed cars, a bus, and a light aircraft in the water for their divers to explore.
The pure blue colour the water gave the lake its nickname and now official name - the Blue Lagoon.
The Blue Lagoon itself is used for fishing and is stocked with crayfish, roach and carp. The wooded area around the lake is home to a dive...
