Talk:Leigh, Greater Manchester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Component area?

What on earth is a component area? Leigh is a town. That's what it was when I lived there - a town with a town hall, not a component area hall. Please don't put the phrase back onto the page without discussing it here first. --Cheesy Mike 23:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent editing changes

Alot of the sections in the article were about the history of Leigh, so I put all these together. I took out some details like 'theres a Pataks factory next to Asda' and 'the chowbenters chased the Cavaliers from chowbent to Lowton common' because if you don't know where asda is or chowbent and lowton common they're not very helpful.

Also I don't think we need to reference the connection between the spinning jenny, spinning jenny way and the spinning gate shopping centre, the clues in the name.

I think the notable residents section could do with more rugby players, at the momment it looks like Leighs famous for producing Hollyoaks actresses!!

This thing about Leigh cheese being famous as well, if anyone from Leigh reads this and knows about our cheese ever being famous, leave a message here, or better still, if the person who wrote about Leigh cheese in 2004 reads this, tell us the source of this information. I've looked at your contribution history and you've also contributed to the cheddar article !! I'll leave this message here for a month to get some opinion and if no ones heared of Leigh cheese or can give us a reference to it being good for toasting then I'm deleting/toasting the cheese information!--K.murphy 20:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
