I don't know who keeps calling Redhill 'Deadhill' but I have lived here all my life and never come across the expression. Please stop changing it back or at least provide some sources.

I've lived in Redhill for 20 years and am very familiar with the expression. 74.65.39.59 (talk) 22:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deadhill

Haven't seen it documented anywhere properly, but have heard it mentioned around and about - if you google "Redhill Deadhill" 256 pages come up. Maybe they're not all related, but who's going to trawl through 256 pages about Redhill, particularly if they're as moribund and depressing as they usually are? It's not the best place on earth, but it's far from the worst. Milkybarnick 23:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)milkybarnick[reply]

I heard this too, seems to be true Protiek 02:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is nonsense, there are no plans at all to change the name of the town, if you think there are please post a link to the local council or a reputable news source. The pages that come up on a google search for this are all discussion forums, mostly ones talking about 'chavs'. These are a long way from being a reputable source.

If someone can think of a way to put this in as a nickname, then fair enough, although frankly I don't think it worthy of even that. But to keep changing the 'official name' label on the page is childish and stupid. --ThePaintedOne 13:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Earlswood Hospital

Although today it is politically correct to refer to this as a place for people with learning disabilities, seeing as it is no longer in existence, I think it is acceptable to refer to it as it was known as at the time. Also, there is a difference between psychosis and learning disabilities, even if those terms are widely misused nowadays. Southeastern 23:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
