[edit] St lawrences Church.

If you Google Denton Tameside, the first link you get is to information about St Lawrences and every other link that you come to mentions it. I feel there should be more information regarding this historic landmark.

I would also like to add information on The Festival Hall donated by the Scott family. Also information on The Hyde family of Denton who were responsible for much of the creation of the 2 local towns Ashton and Hyde.

Also I have a picture of Denton's Coat of Arms but don't know how to add it. Can anyone help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schnizzle (talk • contribs)

Any thoughts on this anyone?Schnizzle 08:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] School

this page used to say in the schools section: Denton Central (Duke Street) Primary School (closed in 2004 due to falling pupil rolls). I dont think it neccessary to state why the school closed, it is not important, and we dont want to 'get peoples backs up'

[edit] PUbs in Denton

Why was the pubs in Denton removed? The vast majority of them have been there for many many years and are local land marks. Much longer than the schools which are listed. I have reinstated it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Schnizzle (talk • contribs)

It's a pretty shoddy state when mere ale houses become notable within a town, so I can appreciate why the pubs were removed earlier. What next - list of post boxes in Denton, or perhaps a list of all shops in Denton? --Oscarthecat 18:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. I disagree but if there is a general consensus it isn't of interest then remove it. What if they had brief discriptions that would be of use to visitors to the town? Sorry for not signing the comments I didn't know how at the time.Schnizzle 08:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate your other improvements to the article, I'm just not sure about the pubs list. I wonder if we can confine the list to particularly notable pubs in Denton, such as ones with a long and distinguished history like the Crown Point ? --Oscarthecat 20:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree but The Crown Point has gone now and is the Last Orders (which is probably the least notable pub in manchester :)) Which is a shame considering its history. I think maybe the Red Lion, the 2 jolly hatters (named from the hatting industry of course) Silver springs and Angel maybe? I take it you are a Dentonian? Schnizzle

I removed them. Schnizzle 09:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
