Talk:Beccles

message: The population figure in the page and the figure on the infobox do not match, yet both figures are apparently pulled from the 2001 Census.

replies: text: I've sourced reliable and more up to date population figures using a Suffolk County Council reference. The larger figure in the original article probably included Worlingham in it. -- Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

message: There appears to be some disagreement about the location of Beccles.  The article has for a long time stated Suffolk, but an anonymous editor  has several times changed it to Norfolk.  I've been reverting this as vandalism, but thought I'd mention it on the talk page to check that Suffolk is correct.  -- MightyWarrior (talk) 12:03, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's in Suffolk, although close to the Norfolk border. I can think of no reason why continual changes to Norfolk are anything other than some kind of vandalism -- Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, it's most definitely in Suffolk, although as Blue Square points out, near the border with Norfolk. No reason to wonder. It's been in Suffolk an awfully long time.MarmadukePercy (talk) 04:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: My maternal grandparents lived in Beccles for virtually their entire lives at 92 St Georges Road.  My grandfather was George Lionel Westwood who was Deputy Mayor of Beccles for many years (the council wanted him to be Mayor but he always refused).  In the 1980s, he fought long and hard for a bypass to be built around the town and it was primarily due to his efforts that the A146 by-pass was completed.  In recognition of his contribution, the town council decided to name the link road between the A146 and the town after him, hence the link road is George Westwood Way.
