Talk:Defence-class ironclad

Poplar
I'm puzzled why Westwood, Baillie has been altered from Cubitt Town to the less specific Poplar. The company was based at London Yard, which is definitely in Cubitt Town. Pterre (talk) 12:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Because Ballard says Poplar. I wonder if this is a case where the corporate HQ is in one neighborhood and the actual yard is in another.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:47, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * No, to the best of my knowledge (see for example here) London Yard was the HQ and the yard - this was not a huge multi-site company. Cubitt Town was then in the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar (now part of Tower Hamlets), but Cubitt Town is a more precise location. Pterre (talk) 17:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, but is London Yard preferable to both? That is the actual site where the ship was built and the company HQ'd. Or do you think that is too specific?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:29, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Personally I prefer Cubitt Town, but either this or London yard would be fine. Pterre (talk) 22:49, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
