[edit] Norwood Green

Added link to Norwood Green a page which was produced before I found the project and the template.

[edit] Railway Crash

I heard there was a railway crash here in the 1980s/1990s. Is this true? If so, shouldn't this be mentioned on here. - Erebus555 17:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Southall rail crash link added --RichardVeryard 15:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone removed this link without explanation. I have restored it. If you think it is inappropriate, please explain here.--RichardVeryard 23:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Aircraft Crash

September after next will be the 50th anniversary of an unplanned arrival at Kelvin Gardens, which happened at about 7:30 am 2nd September 1958. The company when out of business shortly after. See British Pathe film: [1] --Aspro 19:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I have reworded the value-laden statement "a pitiful amount of churches". I don't think it is appropriate for Wikipedia articles to judge how many churches a district ought to have. --RichardVeryard 15:37, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I doubt that there was ever any serious attempt to have Southall renamed Punjabtown. However, this Urban myth is repeated all over the internet.--RichardVeryard 15:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Does any one know how to put a pronunciation sound link onto the page? Every time someone on TV or radio mentions this place the say Suthal instead of South- hall;(Oh, OK then: and sometimes Sou'ffou too.). I don't whether their talking about here or the race course. --Aspro 18:14, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with southall's south asian community article

It makes sense to merge the two articles rather than have 2 separate ones.

And where did you get the statistics on 'Religion in Southall' being 45% Muslim? This is of course not correct and you can see on this page that the 2001 statistics show much different story. Southall is heavily 'Indian' area, Pakistan population is much less. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6903172.stm

Also what about the 'white' population in Southall? Many eastern-europeans there now.

Agree, the articles should be merged, unless the Asian community of Southall article can be heavily expanded and not with unverifiable gang histories of the local Asian gangs. Londium 21:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I was just in London (I live in Canada) and took the Heathrow Connect and the train stopped. I was interested in learning more about Southall and found this article was just what I wanted. I would suggest leaving two independent articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.160.176 (talk) 00:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
