[edit] Photo view over Keswick

I think this is a nice photo by User:Mick Knapton.

Keswick and Derwent Water seen from Latrigg summitt.

It's only on the Latrigg article at the moment. Put it on here? Alternatively I took this one and put it on wikitravel.org (similar but in the summer time) -- Nojer2 15:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Population

Is the population 4,281, or about 5,000? Both figures are cited in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Clear air turbulence (talk • contribs) 22:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] How to pronounce Keswick

Can someone state how Keswick is pronounced. I am from England but have lived in Canada a long time. I wa surprised to read this in the article on Keswick, Ontario

'Unlike Keswick in England, it is locally pronounced as "Kez-wick".'

I would have expected Keswick UK to be said in exactly the same way.
User:Brenont 03:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC) hi, having lived in Keswick for much of my life i can say that you pronounce it (kes (as in the name of the 70's film) -wick (as in candle wick)) as simple as that hope that helps John joskins 08:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't think you pronounced the 'w'? Biofoundationsoflanguage 16:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

some people pronounce the 'w' mainly new comers and Americans but traditional cumbrian locals do not. John joskins 21:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
