Talk:Pemberton, Greater Manchester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems the expanse of Pemberton has been somewhat exaggerated here. As far as I know (as a resident of Orrell), Orrell, Billinge and Winstanley are not considered to be part of Pemberton. I don’t believe Newtown (home of the JJB stadium) is either. I don’t know whether Goose Green, Worsley Mesnes, and Smithy Brook are, but I’m doubtful. Lamberhead Green is in Pemberton I think, and possibly Kitt Green. I know nothing of Pemberton’s historic borders, but to refer to ‘Pemberton’ now is not to refer to any of the places listed in this article. Comments welcome.

I agree Pemberton does seem to be exaggerated. Despite Orrell and Pemberton being essentially one continuous residential area the area mentioned above are not considered areas of Pemberton. Additionally Pemberton

Pemberton is a large district. Look on 'old maps' and see where it covers. Anywhere west of the River Douglas at Newtown is Pemberton. Lamberhead Green is in Orrell.

• Facts, which are added to an article, should be as accurate as possible. Pemberton is separated from 'Wigan' by the River Douglas, which forms a 'border'. Wigan does not only consist of a 'town centre'. It is not separated from Wigan 'town centre' by the River Douglas.
