[edit] Most Affluent town

I've read this claim about several places, normally in Buckinghamshire, Hampshire or central London, so such a claim certainly requires robust citation. The link provided is broken; I suggest either another citation is found, or the claim removed.--Rob2000 19:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• I've removed this claim as the only references I could find were mirrors to this page. Other sources - eg Health service reports describe Northallerton variously as "predominantly affluent" or "mostly affluent". I also couldn't find a reference on the town's own website [1]. Obviously do revert with a citation. --Rob2000 15:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

This claim was made back in the 1950s and appeared in some national papers. It was based on the rather spurious ground of the amount of cash in bank accounts in the town. I've no idea what the source was as I'd expect this to be a confidential matter.

On another topic, I don't live in the area any more so I can't check the reference to the Battle of the Standard memorial, but the memorial I recall is a few miles north of Northallerton on the Darlington Road.

The Battle of the Standard memorial is definitely a few miles north of Northallerton on Darlington Road (the A167)SiHudson 03:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
