Talk:Stourbridge

Famous People
Can I suggest that Led Zeppelin, The Wonder Stuff, Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Diamond Head and Dry Land are all moved from the list of famous people as none of them are people but are names of music acts or groups of performers and would be better in their own category.

Agreed on the music acts in the list of famous people issue. RobBrydon 13:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Robert Plant
I have removed the entry:-
 * Robert Plant lead singer of Led Zeppelin

inserted by 88.111.96.253 20:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC) because he was born in West Bromwich, grew up in Halesowen and now lives at Jennings Farm just outside Kidderminster. He has stong connections with Kevyn Gammond at Kidderminster College with whom he played in the Priory of Brion group and as far as I know there are no links with Stourbridge. None of the external sites on the Robert Plant entry refer to a Stourbridge connection. --DonBarton 23:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Replaced Robert Plant, because he attended King Edward VI School when it was a grammar school Pete Slater (talk) 22:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Famous residents?
Who or what is Matt Rowland?

Unless someone provides a citation I suggest removing the entry within 14 days. Mimi (yack) 17:21, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Points of View
I've tried to improve the flow of the page a little; we have to remember that most people viewing this page will be strangers and they want information to be packaged for them in a way that is easy for them. There are still a few points of view and non encyclopedic assertions in the text; can anyone help to improve these? Who says the school is prestigious? Is the locomotive famous locally or only in the USA? Afterbrunel (talk) 22:25, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Stourbridge Speakers Club

Development Update
I'm surprised no one had updated this section about recent changes in Stourbridge. I have been to the new Tesco and have seen the replacement for The Well café, which will be greatly missed. I have made a start on this section, but it needs more information. If anyone has any, please feel free to add it. High Orbit (talk) 13:00, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
