Talk:Melbourne, Derbyshire

message: Does this town have a recognised demonym?  I ask this because the residents of the larger city after which it was indirectly named, Melbourne, Australia, are known as "Melburnians".  Not Melbournians, but Melburnians.  I've looked in vain for an answer to the question of where this form came from, and when, and who created it.  When Melbourne was founded in 1837, the demonym was either borrowed from the existing demonym of the Derbyshire village, or created ab initio.  I've raised questions at both Talk:Melbourne#Melburnians and [[Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language#Melbourne > Melburnian]], but so far, nothing.  Does anyone here have any clue about this?  --  JackofOz (talk) 10:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello, I'd like to question the articles labeling of Melbourne as a "Georgian Market Town".
The town is mentioned in the Domesday book, and has a 12th century church, so is considerably older than "Georgian". And the town was granted permission for the market itself by Henry III in 1230. Again, considerably older than Georgian. 
The town centre itself is very eclectic, like many small town centres, with a variety of architectural styles from the Norman church and Victorian Gothic chapels, lots of very cottagy/rural style buildings, rural Georgian and Victorian style shop fronts etc. There is no dominant architectural style. Plus the town centre is extremely small; if you took the village as a whole, the dominant stile would be the postwar housing that makes up the bulk town.
The "Georgian" label seems a bit misplaced and and has unfortunately been picked up by those places who use wikipedia for lazy research - IE. Councils and public funded tourist websites
Beyond the Georgian label, we could question the idea that it is a market town. I have never known there to be a regular market, and google finds nothing to support that assertion. Is it perhaps a "former market town"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.29.82 (talk) 12:44, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Here in Australia, the city name is pronounced Melb'n, with a schwa sound.  Is your town pronounced like that, or as Mel-born?  Correctrix (talk) 17:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

message: For factual accuracy, the Australian city of Melbourne in fact became the largest city in Australia from about 1870ish until certainly 1902, when Sydney regained its position as Australia's largest city. The dates don't matter for the purposes of this article, but Melbourne was certainly Australia's largest city for a while.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.199.94.223 (talk) 03:51, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
