where IGA hardware is now situated

[edit]

According to the current version of the article:

... Solomon Cook's 1852 mill (without the cockerel), which was situated where IGA hardware is now situated, ...

There are a couple of problems with this:

Perhaps someone with local knowledge could fix the article. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:28, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The IGA building is bigger than a wikipedia or heritage mistake - it is large and there as a single entity - to go to a website and give it credibility is a very dangerous tack to take - many have many mistakes and have no claim to exactness. JarrahTree 13:28, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The "IGA building" is big, with a big "York Co-op" sign on it (unless the photo on the web page, and Google Maps street view, and iHerit are all wrong), and on specific corner, so I've bold fixed it myself. If the my change is factually wrong, feel free to correct it. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:42, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly "York & Districts Co-Op & Quarters" might be better, per List of heritage places in York, Western Australia and inHerit. Either way if the building is going to have its own article (it's redlinked in List of heritage places in York, Western Australia), that text in York Post Office ought to link to it.

York Co-op hardware store

[edit]

@Gartonsmith: This edit refers to the "York Co-op hardware store", however so far as I can tell the York Co-op and the (York Home) Hardware building are two separate buildings, at 138 and 142 Avon Tce respectively - ie there is no "York Co-op hardware store". So which corner was the mill actually on? Mitch Ames (talk) 11:53, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
