Talk:Gosforth

Natives
Both articles on Mark Knopfler and Jonathan Edwards claim they were born in Glasgow and London, respectively, which hardly makes them natives of Gosforth. - Dudesleeper 20:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Mark Knopfler was born in Glasgow, but he moved to Gosforth as a child. Mankind 2k 16:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Supermarkets
I am concerned about the neutrality of the statements about the Supermarkets in Gosforth.

Any views anyone?

Mankind 2k 21:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The section on the supermarkets will have to be properly rewritten soon. TubularWorld 10:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It will, and could the person who keeps inserting the incorrect statement that ASDA was enlarged in 2007 please stop? It wasn't. 80.0.96.155 (talk) 13:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it was. The section of the building containing the restaurant did not used to exist. TubularWorld (talk) 13:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * TubularWorld, you are mistaken. The restaurant is not in an addition to the store; the space was made by reducing the normal food and clothing retail area and resiting the checkouts away from the frontage. I know this because I live very close by and use Asda several times a week, including throughout the refurbishment process. At no time was the store physically extended. The refurbished occupies exactly the same footprint as the original: the changes were entirely internal. If you do not believe me, email Asda. 80.2.199.218 (talk) 19:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Please see the Council Planning department - Planning application for Asda - "Submission of details of extraction, sound insulation and odour extraction to comply with conditions 5, 6 and 7 of permission 2007/0124/01/DET dated 28.02.07 Erection of single storey extension to south elevation to provide restaurant and retail area and alterations to car park layout" TubularWorld (talk) 19:33, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * After TubularWorld first put this in I went round to check - the store HAS been extended (on the North elevation) and reduced the size of the car park. It is noticable as the roof tiles don't quite match. However, the extension was so small, relative to the whole store, that I question whether it is sufficient to warrant inclusion. Twiceuponatime (talk) 09:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * A planning application is no evidence, as it can be refused, amended, withdrawn or allowed to lapse. This particular application refers to a major extension on the south side of the store, which manifestly has not taken place. I have emailed Asda with a request for information about the matter. 80.0.103.175 (talk) 17:16, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Minor correction to my planning application find - Erection of single storey extension to south elevation to provide restaurant and retail area and alterations to car park layout Ref. No: 2007/0124/01/DET | Status: Granted. If you don't believe us - go onto Google Earth and compare the photos from 15 July 2006 and 23 July 2008 - notice that in the 2006 image there are some cars, but in the 2008 image there is the white roof of the restaurant. TubularWorld (talk) 17:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I will do so; but in the interim would point out that the restaurant is on the north side of the store. 80.2.201.92 (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * A reply from Asda:


 * Thank you for your email I have spoken with the general store manager Maurice at our Gosforth store this morning regarding your queries with the store. He has told me that the addition of the photo shop was added within the original building. The in store customer restaurant was added as an extension to the main building. I hope this clears thing up for you and if there is anything else we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Kind Regards Tracey ShielASDA Service Team


 * So Tubular was right and I was wrong. Please accept my apologies. FretfulPorpentine (talk) 19:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Photo
I'm planning to upload a photo to the Gosforth page and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what image would be best for the page. Any "landmarks" or whatever that anyone would like to see, just shout out. Mankind 2k 16:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Education
I've added a list of the schools in gosforth, but the locations of some are a little hazey, so if i've got any in there that should'nt be, just remove them.Mankind 2k 16:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Find a Property
Someone added this link, http://www.findaproperty.com/areadetails.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&areaid=1764 I'm not sure if it is appropriate for wikipedia. Mankind 2k 16:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Population
Have changed this to the correct figure from the 2001 Census. An earlier edit had entered in error the figure for Gateshead, some ten times larger.Terwilliger 20:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Accent
Maybe we could mention that the typical Gosforth accent differes quite a bit from the surrounding area. 167.1.176.4 (talk) 06:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Electoral wards
It's arguable that there are at least three electoral wards: East Gosforth, West Gosforth and Parklands. Comments? FretfulPorpentine (talk) 14:38, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've changed the wording to that effect.TubularWorld (talk) 15:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect Image Caption
Hi The mouse-over caption of the top image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosforth#/media/File:Gosforth_High_Street_4.jpg is incorrect. This is Elmfield Road intersecting the High Street, not Church Road. Don't know how to change that. Toothpickdog (talk) 04:52, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, could someone add an article about Gosforth Central Middle School as there's currently articles on the other schools but not Central for some reason. Pizza Slayer (talk) 23:52, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
