Talk:Chester-le-Street

message: This is a place steeped in history, with a Roman settlement and its temporary location as the home of St Cuthbert's coffin. This really needs a section. --129.234.4.76 09:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: If Chester-le-Street is in County Durham, why is there a map of Tyne & Wear? DellusMaximus 18:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to remove the label, but that made the whole map disappear. Hopefully someone with the no how will make one showing Chester-le-Street in relation to County Durham. OrchWyn 21:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Chester-le-Street is not well known in the area for the quality of it's eating establishments at all. And if it was, Brenda's and Citrone's would not be the reason. This whole section seems irrelivant, and the bit about Mr.Pickwick's doesn't even make sense! Surely if Mr. Pickwick's is up market then Citrone's must be the "Poor man's Mr. Pickwick's".
:The town is known locally for its quality of eating establishments. The town boasts "Brenda's", which is known for selling the best battered haggis outside of Scotland. Clem's, which is part of a small chain of well-known fish and chip shops, has a pleasant restaurant area above the takeaway section found on the ground floor. However, the favourite of the townspeople is the now famous, "Citrone's Cafe" located on the middle of the Front Street - the hub of the town. It is known locally as a "Rich Man's Pickwicks" due to similar, but more upmarket cuisine sold at "Mr. Pickwicks" further down the street.
:I've removed this as its subjective and unsourced. If any of the establishment mentioned have won awards, and sources can be found to verify this, somebody could reword this and add it back to the article.212.140.167.99 14:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Should something be added about how the name is pronounced? I've heard it (as well as Ponteland) described as the local places that are most frequently mispronounced by outsiders. A friend of mine (who used to live there) pronounces it "Chessley Street" whereas my missus (who is from 40 miles down the road) pronounces it "Chesterley Street". Some definitive guidance for us outsiders would be useful 146.87.65.10 08:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Surely a good Cestrian (or a bad one) would come from Chester.
To most locals the town is known as "Chester".
This gave rise to confusion, anecdotally, when a prison van run by a London based company left Durham gaol with the instruction to take the prisoners to "Chester Magistrates Court". Two hours later, on non arrival, it was contacted by radio and found to be half way along the M62.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.177.228 (talk) 18:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: An unregistered user added a new section on beer prices, which I removed yesterday.  It is written in a strange style, like advertising copy, with speculation about what people can afford, new ground and increased patronage.  An unregistered user restored the addition today.  Any good reason to keep it? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The church is an interesting building and the anchorage is known nationally in architectural and religious circles. I've added a bit.

message: I've added a by whom to the statement about the civic centre — frankly I find it hard to believe it's been much praised by anyone, and will remove the line unless there's a source. --John Blackburne (words ‡ deeds) 00:30, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed it. If anyone wants to put it back in it needs some indication of who was praising it. --John Blackburne (words ‡ deeds) 13:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
