Im trying to find the reason for the name of each house on the Boundry Estate. Cookham House, Taplow House, Sonning House, Datchett, Henley, etc all appear to be Towns along the River Thames. Does anyone know, if this is the correct assumption, why these were picked?

I did read that it was part of the original plan, and that it was a deliberate attempt to disassociate the new estate from its former past. HTH Kbthompson 09:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

Arnold Circus is a stub, and is the location of the bandstand in the photo. Kbthompson 18:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

That's true, but I think Arnold Circus may be getting its own spotlight soon. The bandstand is now twinned with one in Santa Fe, and the Friends are quite active. I would hold off on the merger for at least a year. JamesLucas 17:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• Yes to merge. per nom Hadrianheugh 23:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge, as the nominator I'd better make clear my position. If the situation changes, the article could be recreated in a year. However, I don't think two-one over a three month period exactly represents a crushing consensus to merge the two articles. Kbthompson 23:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't Arnold Circus where all the druggies used to hang out? Colin4C 10:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment mainly street drinkers, but yes. Kbthompson 13:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge no need for a separate article. Regan123 (talk) 20:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
