Name
editAs the borough of Macclesfield has ceased to exist, should this page be renamed (bearing in mind that there's another Chorley in the new authority of Cheshire East)? — Old Wittonian (talk) 09:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- I would say so - a comparable case is Woodend, Egremont, Cumbria ([1]) and Woodend, Ulpha, Cumbria ([2]), which are both in Copeland and are dabbed by the nearest town (or small village in the case of Ulpha!) I'd suggest possibly Chorley, Alderley Edge, Cheshire for this one (since they are apparently historically linked), and Chorley, Nantwich, Cheshire for the other. There may be other exceptions elsewhere in the country though. — sjorford++ 17:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Grateful for the article because I didn't know how it came to be that Alan Garner - who is associated with the Edge, was writing about a "Chorley" in "The Stone Book" and its companion novels. Perhaps he deserves a mention, as I can't be the only Garner reader who has tried to track Chorley downDelahays (talk) 13:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
