Article rewrite[edit]

Mount Batten in Plymouth deserves a little more than a stub article so I am attempting a major rewrite. As it happens there is a considerable amount of reference material available on the area not least archaeological so it will take some time to do the topic justice. One of the reasons there is so much reference material is because the area was one of three MoD sites (the others were Mount Wise and Royal William Yard) which were promoted by the Plymouth Development Corporation - a temporary urban development corporation set up in 1993 to promote regeneration of the three sites. As a result, considerable research was undertaken before any areas were allowed to be developed.

Before inserting a reference concerning the bronze mirror (there is a replica in the Plymouth City Museum) I wanted to check whether the cemetery where it was found was indeed in what is now considered the Mount Batten area. It certainly seemed to be within the regeneration area but a definitive map of the area is needed to be certain. Declutter (talk) 22:22, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
