Talk:History of Penkridge

Town or village?
This seems a point of controversy: Ordnance Survey reckons it's a town. Pam D  14:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

I've checked two websites including the Parish Council and visit Staffordshire both say village. Also there is no mention in SSD (South Staffordshire District) council site that calls it a town. The only town in that district is Brewood as it was a market town not referred to one as such now but is an ancient market town and had a charter. Penkridge has never had a market charter to award it town status. It seems to have gone unchecked the actual status since its creation. I've only delved in and found it isn't a market town. An OS map might refer to it as a town or a newspaper but not the official government sites nor Staffordshire sites. As said only Brewood got town status a bit like Malpas in Cheshire and Tuxford in Nottinghamshire. RailwayJG (talk) 15:00, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Although Tuxford does have a town council. And was a market town. Malpas not so much and penkridge never has RailwayJG (talk) 15:00, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
