No, actually. The whole article is packed with errors. |
|||
Starting with the title, 'List of mills in Wigan', when most of the mills in the list weren't really in Wigan. |
|||
Considering that the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan was only created in 1972, along with Greater Manchester, it's wrong to suggest that mills which were once part of Lancashire's spinning industry were actually not in Lancashire at all but in the 'Metropolitan borough of Wigan', Greater Manchester. |

Wikipedia is used for the education of pupils in primary schools. Let's not have them learning the wrong story. |
|||
For example, if a mill was in Golborne, let it be listed as being in Golborne, NOT Wigan. |
|||
Brookside Mill, Parkside Mill, Upper Mill, Bank Heath Mill were all in Golborne. |
|||
Golborne, as it happens, was classified as being within the Warrington district at the time the mills were in operation. |
|||
The co-ordinates are wrong too. Brookside Mill, in Golborne, was not in Shropshire! [[Special:Contributions/92.239.90.145|92.239.90.145]] ([[User talk:92.239.90.145|talk]]) 08:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC) |

No, actually. The whole article is packed with errors.
Starting with the title, 'List of mills in Wigan', when most of the mills in the list weren't really in Wigan.
Considering that the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan was only created in 1972, along with Greater Manchester, it's wrong to suggest that mills which were once part of Lancashire's spinning industry were actually not in Lancashire at all but in the 'Metropolitan borough of Wigan', Greater Manchester.
Wikipedia is used for the education of pupils in primary schools. Let's not have them learning the wrong story. For example, if a mill was in Golborne, let it be listed as being in Golborne, NOT Wigan. Brookside Mill, Parkside Mill, Upper Mill, Bank Heath Mill were all in Golborne. Golborne, as it happens, was classified as being within the Warrington district at the time the mills were in operation. The co-ordinates are wrong too. Brookside Mill, in Golborne, was not in Shropshire! 92.239.90.145 (talk) 08:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
