[edit] Comments

There's a lot more history to Cranleigh than this article reveals.

There's a challenge for you, then. Mucky Duck 15:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

The summary states that the fountain with the crane was removed for the store. Later in the article it states that it was a bus stop, not the fountain which was removed. The fountain summary change was a more recent edit [1]. I assume that the fountain is still in existance, but this needs to be fixed by someone who knows the truth of the situation. --Aspectacle 05:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the page and removed the tag but there is still this contradiction. The page could do with a photo and doesn't say much for a place with over 11,000 people. SuzanneKn 20:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the clean-up. There's no contradiction about the fountain. The fountain that was removed was not the historic one with the crane, but a modern water feature that was added when Stockland Square was built in the 1960s. The ancient fountain with the crane is in what is now known as Fountain Square, on the other side of the road. Incidentally, it is true that Cranleigh has often been claimed to be England's largest village. If a suitable citation could be found it would be good to have that restored.
