Title[edit]

A majority of the available sources call James Stirling's housing development the "Southgate Estate", though it is often referred to as Southgate, or the Southgate housing development. I've named the article "Southgate Estate", rather than the author's preferred "Southgate Housing Estate". An alternative ould be to call it "Southgate, Runcorn", though I believe Southgate is the name of the area comprising of more than just Stirling's housing. Alternative views welcome.

I agree, "Southgate Estate" is a legitimate title, and probably more so than the title I used as it is how it was referred to in real life, by people in the town and in the media. I included "Housing" in the title to give clarification as I think it is chiefly British to say "estate" to mean a housing development. It may be easier to search for non British users if "Housing" is included - I might be wrong about that though.Lenatron (talk) 09:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC) Lenatron[reply]

Citations Needed[edit]

I have added references where these were requested, the main source being Jane Morton's book. This publication was written specifically about the estate, unlike other publications where the estate is the subject of a magazine article or a chapter in a text book about other things. The book involved extensive interviews with residents and the authorities responsible for managing the estate, and is the most in-depth and authoritative piece of work on this subject that I know of.
