message: Some of the information given here, together with the ext link re plaques, has now been added to the Joseph Priestley article itself. The brown plaque at the corner of Clapton Passage and Lower Clapton Road seems to be just about visible on Google Street View. It's above the sign for "Danny's Motor Shop" at co-ords 51.5523, -0.0526. But would the house at 113 Lower Clapton Lane have had the same address in 1791?

Talk:Knightsbridge

message: The factors apparently used to rank Knightsbridge as a top importance article seem bizarre.  The London Plan merely identifies the shopping frontages of Knightsbridge and Brompton Road as being at the top of London's retail hierarchy along with the major shoppings streets of the West End. 
The various Albertopolis cultural institutions mentioned are geographically in South Kensington not Knightsbridge, which surely has a much better claim to top importance status.--Lang rabbie 20:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mortlake

message: The following text:
"Mortlake bus garage, situated in Avondale Road, was closed in 1983. Much of the site was rebuilt as housing but a small area near the railway was retained as a turning point for buses, with toilet facilities and a small office. Mortlake garage had opened very early in the 20th century and originally catered for horse buses. In later years the stables were converted into the traffic office."
was replace with "Mortlake bus garage is situated in Avondale Road." by 90.198.218.161.

replies: text: Norvo: I don't understand what this is about. Headhitter (talk) 14:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, Headhitter. I should have given the section or quoted in detail. The section on the etymology of Mortlake reads: "The name Mortlake may be derived from mortuus lacus, Latin for "dead lake". In Domesday Book (1086) it is referred to as Mortlage, which in the Saxon language signifies a compulsive law.[2]" The expression compulsive law doesn't make sense. I'd add that I think someone needs to look at a more recent source than one that appeared in 1792. I note the Oxford Dictionary of Place-Names is given as a source for the uncontroversial statement that Mortlake is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames but is ignored in connection with the etymology.

Talk:West Norwood

message: Can we agree on the name of the location of the northern Knights Hill at ? 
If we say its in W Dulwich we miss out the other districts it straddles, e.g. Streatham Hill, & W Norwood. Although this article is 'W. Norwood' my preference is to say 'Tulse Hill' which covers them all. 
The Peabody Hill housing sits in Lambeth. The current Bartholomew Streetmap puts it  at Tulse Hill (but in SE21), and the current OS 'Magic' map shows the hill & tunnel to be crossed by the Dulwich & W Norwood ward boundary w. Streatham. The older OS map shows it to lie with Lower Norwood as a detached parish of Streatham. Ephebi 18:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Petersham, London

message: The boundary between Ham and Petersham is not clear and is disputed but, that said, I think that some of the references in here are to Ham (e.g. Ham House and Ham Polo) rather than Petersham.
The best definition of Petersham is given by the boundary of the Petersham Conversation Area http://www.richmond.gov.uk/petersham_conservation_area_6.pdf/.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reesmf (talk • contribs) 14:35, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Whilst it is mostly academic these days as LBRUT tend to lump Ham and Petersham together, the traditional boundary with Ham runs south from the river west  of Ham House and thus both House and Polo Club and field lie within Petersham, though some of the Ham House outbuildings such as the Stables lie in Ham. If you persevere with the interface on http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html you will see the boundary of Ham Urban District for example which tallies with the traditional description of the parish boundary. This part of the boundary at least also existed on the tithe map that predates Ordnance survey. Had it been otherwise, presumably the Dysarts would have had to traipse to Kingston Parish Church every Sunday, instead of the quick jaunt down to St Peter's :) Just using the definition of the Conservation Area cited would exclude other parts of Petersham such as Petersham Common as well as several areas of housing. --KenBailey (talk) 12:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
