Talk:Parker's Piece

Nice start - now we need a photo of the reality checkpoint lamp post and possibly Sunday cricket in front of the University Arms Hotel. If the article grew long enough we could also include a photo of the new destinctive toilet block. We should also mention the part that Parker's Piece had to play in the development of the rules for football. There is a little more information to be found on the Cambridge local government website. -- Solipsist 08:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

You got your wish re toilet photos, threefold! (see my comment below) --Brian Josephson (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Football and "Nuts"

Football, definitely - I wrote this stub because I mentioned PP in my article on "Nuts" Cobbold, the great Victorian era inside forward who played there for the University, and it came up as a red link. Mikedash 11:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Toilets

There are no fewer than 3 photos of the toilets in the Gallery, but the article gives no clue as to where they are located. Should there be a special section devoted to this (no, I'm not being serious, the toilets are quite spectacular in their own way I suppose and so deserve their place in the Gallery)? --Brian Josephson (talk) 08:56, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Common

What's the source on this being a common? It's not listed on the government site list of common land areas. See https://data.gov.uk/dataset/05c61ecc-efa9-4b7f-8fe6-9911afb44e1a/database-of-registered-common-land-in-england and https://data.gov.uk/dataset/6e60cbc5-77dd-4063-a78e-9c5fa96e0589/cambridgeshire-county-council-registered-common-land -- Borb (talk) 21:04, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
