Talk:Wivenhoe

message: Perhaps there should be a section on geography, including location, transport links, the river etc? At the moment the article seems a bit heavy on history and people, unlike articles about many other towns. Sangwine 21:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This "Wyvern-hoe" business probably originates at, or at least is propogated by, the University of Essex. They have a staff with a wyvern on it which is produced at graduation time along with a brief story about Wivenhoe, and one of the university's magazines is named "Wyvern" for the same reason. Sadly, I can't find a written citation for this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.242.131 (talk) 23:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The "famous people' section is all over the place. I've removed the line about "film director Steve Roberts" and "max Headroom" because it seems highly unlikely and is not verifiable at all.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.82.230 (talk) 10:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Nice para about the engine shed, the theatre never happened.  There was a good deal of enthusiasm and excitement about the project once. Daen 18:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I can see Tom Burt crops up as quartermaster for 2nd SAS, mainly through the story of war dog Rob ... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2277684,00.html ... but was he really known as the "Father" of the SAS? Daen 13:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: A phone call to their Essex newsdesk confirms that it's still the East Anglian Daily Times (and that RA is still Essex Chief Reporter), 62.53.3.83, if that's your real name ... Daen 12:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The tone of this section seems rather too conversational - eg. "very pleasant" and "all very interesting". I appreciate that it's nice to say positive things about the place, but I think the tone needs to be more factual. --Helvissa (talk) 14:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The Nonsuch was built in Wivenhoe (see this link). I guess it's quite notable and the ships timbers were used to build Nonsuch House on Black Buoy Hill. I'd love to add this but I've never done it before. If no one else does I'll find the time to learn though! 86.165.97.202 (talk) 19:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have suggested that Broomgrove Junior School should be merged to the Wivenhoe article as it is not sufficiently notable for its own article. Atlas-maker (talk) 12:20, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
