[edit] Trafalgar school
Page does not mention Trafalgar Infant/Junior school.
[edit] Why "renowned" and "famous"?
The article states :
"roughly to the North-East of Twickenham Centre lies the renowned area bisected by Whitton Road, including the famous Court Way."
What exactly is renowned about this area and why is Court Way famous? I feel the author shouldnt tantalise us with these adjectives without backing them up. Surely if these areas really were renowned or famous I wouldnt be asking this question...82.35.169.190 21:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't know about Court Way but Great Train Robber Charlie Wilson used to live on Craneford Way. FatGravyBoat 11:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC) FatGravyBoat
[edit] Pete Townshend and The Yardbirds
Contrary to the article Townshend lives in Richmond (across the river from Twickenham). Also saying "The Yardbirds" live in Twickenham is silly - it's as if they all live together or something. Name the band members who live there! --Thoughtcat 09:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Fortification"
The stateemnt that St Mary's church tower was formerly some sort of fortification is complete and utter rubbish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FatGravyBoat (talk • contribs) 11:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] "Famous" residents who aren't famous
I'd never heard of the popsters "Larrikin Love", but that little matter aside their article tells me that they've only existed since 2006 and have issued a total of one (1) album. So I snipped them off the end of the absurdly long list of "famous" residents.
A lot more people should probably be snipped from the list, too. Unless of course it's retitled "Celebs (including very minor ones) who have lived in Twickenham". -- Hoary 00:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
