Talk:Runcorn Docks

Merger proposal
I suggest merging Arnold Dock, Delamere Dock, Fenton Dock, Francis Dock and Tollemache Dock into this article (reference to them is already included). All the articles are very short and significant expansion is unlikely; also it is doubtful that any of the docks is sufficiently notable to merit a separate article. Any further information about them can be accommodated in this article. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Seems like a good idea to me. It is surely more useful for a reader seeking information on the docks of Runcorn to have that information presented in the single main article rather than a series of one-line stubs. The Port of Runcorn page is also not so long that these break-out sections are required. Euryalus (talk) 22:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * As there appears to be no disagreement with the proposal, I have merged the minor articles into this one. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 13:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Francis Dock
Something appears to be wrong here. Francis Dock was closed and filled in (in the decline section), but forms part of the present docks (in the Present section). I can see that the ref says it is open, but it is wrong. The present docks consist of what was Tidal, Alfred and Fenton, and Francis is indeed filled in. The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map (1930s) clearly shows which is which. Bob1960evens (talk) 20:09, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
