[edit] Tale of Two Kingswoods

I've tried to sort out the tale of two Kingswoods - the result is a bit wordy and I note that things were a bit more succinct a few revisions back. Unfortunately the old words got lost some 6 months back - in addition they didn't explain adequately that Kingswood, Bristol, aka Kingswood, South Gloucestershire, used to be one of two Kingswood, Gloucestershire's - we still have an valid entry for the smaller one, which sometimes gets referred to as if it were the bigger one :-). Thus, some people born prior to 1974 in big Kingswood, can correctly state that they were born in Gloucestershire... HTH Linuxlad 11:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Recent additions by 82.46.107.109 appear well intentioned but very POV. If others broadly agree it may be best to revert and invite a more neutral addition! Linuxlad 13:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History & Origin of name

The information at [[1]] looks credible, if lacking citations. William Avery 18:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Yup, I grew up there and looks mostly right to me. Will be tricky to get online citations for this tho - maybe would need to be cited to local history books, if anyone can find the time do to such a thing! 86.21.0.89 11:11, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
