Talk:Hockenhull Platts

Etymology
If Welsh hocan means to peddle or to sell abroad and hoel means a paved way or road, why is hen ("old") required in Hockenhull/Hocanhoel? --Wetman (talk) 21:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't know - that's what the source says. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 22:04, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, why change "Black Prince" to "Edward, the Black Prince"? In Britain he is usually simply referred to as the "Black Prince" and I doubt that many overseas readers will want to read an article about three little bridges in rural Cheshire - and if they do and are intrigued by the title, the link will take them to the appropriate information.

Merger proposal
I propose that Hockenhull Platts Nature Reserve be merged into this article. The two articles cover broadly the same subject. Espresso Addict (talk) 17:23, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Me too—see comments at Talk:Hatch Mere Nature Reserve. This is another of User:CheshireWildlifeTrust's creations, where he or she would have been better finding and extending the pre-existing article. Dave.Dunford (talk) 19:00, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've been bold and merged the articles. Dave.Dunford (talk) 12:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
