Talk:Pemberton, Greater Manchester

message: * I consider this to be a suitable opening to the Pemberton article .... 
Pemberton is an area and residential suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester[1], England. Covering 1157 hectares, it contains several smaller settlements within it's boundaries [2]. It is contiguous to Wigan, being separated from it by the River Douglas. Pemberton is part of the Wigan Urban Area.
Cited link [2] contains the same information regarding the smaller settlements making up Pemberton, and lists them. Pemberton cannot be 'contiguous' to Wigan AND two miles from it. 80.192.242.187 21:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The People who are questioning the size of Pemberton are right to do so. Worsley Mesnes, Goose Green and Hawkley Hall are NOT in Pemberton, this page is completely wrong. The cited references are to do with Parish boundaries not actual place bounderies which are completely different. Also it needs to be noted that some of the cited references link to genealogy sites which is specifically to do with the past, some of the descriptions are over 150 years old and are no longer valid for this actual page which is to do with the present. Heading from Bryn, upon passing the motorway sliproad roundabout, you immediately enter Goose Green NOT Pemberton and just to recap, Goose Green is NOT in Pemberton.
Apparently, you're in Billinge and Winstanley just past the motorway island and are not in Goose Green until you get to Clapgate Lane. According to Man2, it says so on the road sign but I've not seen it myself. That part of Billinge and Winstanley is called Marus Bridge. When you're in Goose Green, you're in a part of Pemberton, whether you like it or not. It says so on any deeds drafted from the Land Registry in Lytham. Going the way you say, you aren't in Wigan till you get over the River Douglas. 80.192.242.187 22:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
