[edit] Merge

Duplicate articles. Winton, Eccles is much better that this one; however the merged article should be at Winton, Greater Manchester as this would be standard disambiguation. MRSC • Talk 21:01, 7 November 2006 (UTC) Winton, Eccles is a better title because Winton, Greater manchester suggests that a county of Greater Manchester still exists, which it does not. Administratively Winton is in the City of Salford, a Metropolitan District, but is geographically in the real County of Lancashire (as opposed to the administrative county of Lancashire which covers only a part of the historic county).

[edit] Greater Manchester

Winton was in Lancashire. It is still in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester is still a county. Hence Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Ambulance Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive.

Salford, Manchester, Ashton, Wigan et al Make up Greater Manchester as a county and are not part of Lancashire. As much as Liverpool, Bootle and St. Helens are part of Merseyside.

Counties change - we were once Salfordshire !
