 * 1) Article needs to be massively expanded using WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
 * 2) It should make use of sections, using WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
 * 3) Infobox to be added (use Template:Infobox UK place.)
 * 4) References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

Jubilee field
Was this given to Winnington by Brunner Mond on Brunner Mond's 50th anniversary in 1923? Salinae 23:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The only reference I can find is this which suggests that Winnington Youth Club, on Jubilee Fields, was given by Brunner Mond in 1908.

Old Tom Parr did NOT live here
The town is popular as the birth-place for the alleged oldest ever person Old Tom Parr who lived to over 150 years old, dying in the 1600s.

The uncited mention of 'Old Tom Parr' is incorrect - his home was in the Shropshire village of Winnington on the Welsh border. I have therefore delected this sentence. Tom Parr's longevity claim is trumped by Yorkshireman Henry Jenkins who died 1670 aged allegedly 169.Cloptonson (talk) 19:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
