Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Bentinck Town Looking west along Laburnum Avenue to the junction with Pinxton Road. Bentinck Town was named after the Duke of Portland (family name Cavendish-Bentinck), who owned the land and mines in this area and whose family were prominent British politicians. The name is originally Dutch. Hans William, Baron Bentinck, (later 1st Earl of Portland) was originally sent to England in 1677 to solicit for William of Orange the hand of Mary, daughter of the Duke of York (later James II). He was instrumental in the Dutch invasion and the reign of William and Mary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bentinck,_1st_Earl_of_Portland
