Talk:Bridgnorth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St.Mary's Church
I added a piece about the similarities between this church and two in Dublin- including hyperlinks to prove the point. Now that has been deleted by persons unknown. No discussion as to why and no debate. Thanks for the vandalism. colonel1970.
- Hello there, I recently made some edits to the article in which I removed the points about the similarity between the churches, and I am sorry to read that you are unhappy with the changes. In my examination of the statements you made in the article, I viewed the in-line links given, but these only compared the two churches in Dublin - no references were made in either web-page to Bridgnorth at all. Furthermore, the graphical comparison over two independent sites is not really adequate as a source; no reference was made in the sources given to any similarities between either church, or the one in Bridgnorth, and I feel the statements therefore bordered on original research. I performed an internet search to find an independent source to back up the claim, but I was unsuccessful. Naturally this does not mean there is not one, and it would be fab if you had a more suitable source and the content could be returned to the article.

[edit] Folk Festival
There are reports that in 2006 the Folk Festival will move down the road to the county capital of Shrewsbury in order to accomodate its popularity. As the 2005 festival is yet to occur, I have not edited the line about the folk festival, but it will need to be edited in future.

- I've heard that the festival is to move to Shrewsbury from 2006 too. David 09:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

- In 2006, the folk festival formerly known as the Bridgnorth Folk Festival is to move to the county town of Shrewsbury, and be suitably renamed. This is due to increasing numbers of visitors making the small venues in Bridgnorth impractical.

Sources would be good for the item below: — Matt Crypto 14:48, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
- It was a major story in various national newspapers, including the Times and Telegraph, and featured on BBC Midlands Today. The Shropshire Star also made a big deal of it. David 10:22, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nazi HQ of Britain?
In 2005, German papers from 1941 were discovered outlining a possible Nazi invasion of the United Kingdom. There is a lot of detail about two Shropshire towns in the documentation—Ludlow and Bridgnorth. Some experts now believe that it was Hitler's intention to make Bridgnorth his HQ in Britain, due to its central, but rural, location and its now disused airfield.
