Community Facilities
Some of the more notable landmarks in Heaton Norris include Bryant's Warehouse, a large B&Q superstore which was, when first opened, the largest in the country and the Bowerfold Open Space, known locally as 'The Bonks' . These are popular with locals for dog walking, horse riding and have a football pitch on one half of the open space. On the occasional days of heavy snowfall, sledging is popular too.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or facilities:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
