Talk:Nether Poppleton

Working Class? Is that why my mother living in Chapelfields went to Poppleton to clean for the rich folks? Get real.

Location relative to Upper Poppleton
An editor has changed this article indicating that Nether Pop is geographically south of Upper Pop. This argument was that "maps clearly show it to be south of Upper Poppleton".

Now if these maps were reliant on Google Earth for its evidence, then the editor in question would be right. However, if they looked at the Ordnance Survey OpenView Open Data, or Bing, or Streetmap UK for instance, these sources would contradict that evidence. Furthermore, if GENUKI were searched for the parish council maps, then this clearly contradicts that view too. Given that the two villages merge into one another, it can be difficult to make the boundary distinction. If anything the two seem to lie north east to south west rather than north to south.

I suspect that Google Earth has pinpointed that built up area to the east of the A59 as Nether Poppleton, because the road sign at the roundabout from which the village can be reached is signposted in that direction (the road to Nether Poppleton actually then goes full circle and runs back north under the A59). This built up area is a fairly recent development and I believe is known as Poppleton Park and linked to the Millfield Road Industrial Estate (please forgive my vagueness, I left York 14 years ago having lived there for 31 and my memory may be getting rusty).

I would appreciate some consensus on which is considered the correct version. thanks.Rimmer1993 (talk) 16:07, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
