[edit] South Cheshire College

South Cheshire College is located on Nantwich Rd. Crewe and is the most successful FE college in the UK. On what basis? Cite, please! -- Arwel (talk) 00:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, as I am sure Arwel & other Crewe residents know, South Cheshire College is actually located on Danebank Avenue, which is off Nantwich Road (A354). The college has won a large number of awards, see http://www.s-cheshire.ac.uk/new_scc/spotlight/awards/ for details. South Cheshire College did come top in the 2004 Ofsted report for colleges of further education. This can be found on http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,20135-2054602,00.html

[edit] Merge of Bedford Street

I don't believe that these articles should be merged. There is enough information on the street to warrant it's own entry - Shaft121 12:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if the article about Bedford Street is particularly interesting anyway. It does not appear to be a particularly remarkable street. I'd definitley leave it out. --Alsager boy 12:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Delete, merging any significant details into main Crewe article.Paul W 13:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I merged Bedford Street, Crewe into the Crewe article, and then put the orginal article up for deletion. Looking at it again, I can see no reason why it should crop up in the Crewe article, as it is not particularly notable, and no one has managed to give any reasons why or citations of it to back up the claims about it. So, I've unmerged it, and made that point in the comments for deletion.  DDStretch  (talk) 15:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Railway Age

Shouldent this article mention the Railway Age railway museum. It is after all Crewe's main visitor attraction. G-Man * 13:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Possible project (or sub-project) for Cheshire

I think a project or a sub-project (within the UK geography project) dealing with the whole of Cheshire would be a good idea. I have taken as a precedent the project about Cornwall, which any project dealing with Cheshire could hope to aspire to, since this project has constructed Featured Articles about Cornwall-related things. So, I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. I would not want to diminish or withdraw from this other project. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. If you think it might be better placed as a sub-project of the existing UK Geography Project, please say so on that project's talk page, here, and let us discuss it. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 02:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
