Talk:Manor House, London

message: Cleaned up, but there must be more to say about poor old Manor House. Will add to this piece ASAP. Taking some more Finsbury Park pix soon, so will see what I can get round here. Bit of a challenge, really. Tarquin Binary 17:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi, HughJLF. I'm glad someone with specific local knowledge is developing the article. The way I would go is to: slam straight in with where it is. That's the most important element in any location article. That naturally leads into the boundaries of the area. I'd then introduce why the area is named as it is, and why it has no formal boundaries - since, by extension it's become the area around the tube station. I still think of it as in Haringey, as that's where the tube station is, but Steve was right that it is virtually surrounded by districts of Hackney. One of the reasons for that is the geology, with a long spit of high ground (on which LB Hackney sits) leading into the heights of Finsbury Park, much of Haringey occupies the lower ground (except for the park itself). Discursive remarks tend to come after the substantive 'headlines'.
I thought I'd include the ref from BritHistory, but it seems I didn't, there's quite a good if lengthy treatment there - cutting it down would provide some background and history for the area. The Hackney side is dominated by the Woodberry Down Est and Rowley Gardens, both subject to current redevelopment, and there's both a modern and post-war history about that to be expanded. I'm a tad busy in real life at the moment, so I'll leave you to get on with it! Cheers Kbthompson 09:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup it's strange isn't it. I imagine most of the station itself is under the park - which makes it Haringey. Oddly, three out of the four exits emerge on Hackney streets. Thanks for the useful suggestions on the article. I hadn't neccessarily planned to do the whole thing. I'll get the Harringay one done first. And, like you, time is at a premium.

thread_title: Developing the article

message: Added because some of this area is just in Haringey and it's a useful addition to anyone browsing the category. HughJLF 09:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, previously I've got into arguments about my adding people and places to cat:history. Generally, it should only be articles on history. As a concession I was allowed to put 'former buildings of' into history. 8^) The categorisation scheme is not perfect. Kbthompson 09:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There seems to be a bit of a dispute about which borough the tube station is located in. Personally, I don't get the importance of the issue and would quite happily omit any reference to this in the article. However, if folk insist on including it, let's agree the solution here rather than having an edit battle on the article itself.
The two options seem to be:
A: It's in the borough of Haringey because TfL have decided that its postal address is in Haringey.
B: It's in both Hackney & Haringey because its actual physical location spreads under the two boroughs.
Both are factually correct, but we have to agree what's most useful for the article. 
My choices in this order would be:
1. Don't mention it at all
2. State that its located partly in Haringey and partly in Hackney
3. State that it's entrance is in Haringey
Over to you folks.
