Talk:Furness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder whether a merge with Furness is the right way forward. The current Furness article is about the Furness peninsula (also known as Low Furness). The area of Lancashire, north of the sands, on the other hand, includes not only Low Furness, but High Furness (the area generally within the Lake District) and the Cartmel peninsula. I supppose the question could be asked 'does the Furness peninsula' deserve its own article? Personally I would support the view that it does, with a separate article for Lancs, north of the sands. This latter article could be aimed more at the historical context, together with the current issues concerning Lancs vs. Cumbria - that was my intention. Other views?

• No one has seen fit to touch this article in the last few weeks so I merged it with Furness. The fine distinctions between Low Furness, High Furness and Cartmel do not seem notable to me but they can be explained in the Furness article if anyone wishes. -- RHaworth 17:24, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)

[edit] Iron industry

The Furness iron industry could do with being written up. -- RHaworth 17:26, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
