[edit] Stenson developments

Stenson hamlet itself is still fairly tranquill, (because of the high ground between it and the 'new road'), but Stenson Fields and Stenson Road are not (even though in living memory they both were :-). Perhaps you can explain more about the threat you perceive to Stenson Fields on the Stenson Talk page.

Also, note that Stenson Fields is (still?) a Civil Parish outside Derby City, so I've deleted this from Derby Districts. (Arleston _Used_ to be in with Sinfin as a CP). Bob aka Linuxlad 20:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

There is a small amount of tranquil ground between Stenson Fields and the "new road". But a developer is trying to turn Stenson Fields into Stenson Urban Sprawl. Underground though, lies a trojan lake which could cause building problems. The proposed development would build on farming land and on the historical ground around the Derby and Birmingham Railway. --Ð 20:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heatherton

Is Heatheton Village within Derby City though? --Ð 19:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC). Yes I'm fairly sure Heatherton Village is well inside the City boundary. Bob aka Linuxlad 10:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stenson v Twyford

I gather from i cognoscenti that Stenson is indeed only a hamlet but Twyford, despite being smaller, is a village by virtue of having a church... Linuxlad 11:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split article?

It seems to me that there is no good reason why this article is attempting to cover two distinct settlements. I suggest a split. Thoughts? DWaterson (talk) 21:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The reason for one article is that they are both part of the same parish (by virtue of only having one church between them), as explained in the text. However, if the settlements are socially distinct and there is enough material for two separate articles, then I cannot see that being a single ecclesiastical parish is in itself a prohibition on splitting this into two separate articles. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The church argument is an irrelevance (these are civil, not ecclesiastical, parishes) - they just happen to be rather diffuse communities which run together. I'd leave it be, but the tendency on WP seems to be to write on smaller and smaller units - it's only disc space I guess... Bob aka Linuxlad (talk) 06:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
