Coords

I have replaced the Coord template with a Points of Interest table. The Coord template spoils the display on Google maps if it is left in. Bob1960evens (talk) 11:20, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Stoneferry bridge

Added link to a section of the article Stoneferry with more info. There are some unresolved questions about

• The geology of the rock at stoneferry - ie is the stone outcrop mentioned in some sources related to the supposed ford (stone is essentially non-existant around Hull)
• There are some references to a chain at stoneferry (like the chain that was hung across the mouth of the Hull) - this doesn't make total sense to me eg why?

If anyone has answers to these two please see the talk page Talk:Stoneferry

North bridge mystery

There have been two iron bridges called "north bridge" the present one , and one south of it that connected to Charlotte Street - eg see http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?txtXCoord=510192&txtYCoord=428375 and click the 1891 1:500 map.

Victoria county history mentions a horizontal drawbridge (1870) built on the stone bridge of (1785) http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66785#s3

I found some images (cached by goole of the defunct driffield.zapto.org site) [1] [2] On the first one (looking NW) you can see a tram on the bridge, and the warehouse which is still there eg bing aerial view (looking W) - see charlotte street where it connected. On the second can be seen the modern (1930s) bridge in the background.

I can't find out anything about it, and wonder if the Victoria County History is in error? Imgaril (talk) 18:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Bridge details

This article now contains two dates for the opening of the original Drypool Bridge - 1889 in the table, and 1888 in the text. I think the old bridge would be better handled in the text rather than the table. Also, the extensive details in the footnotes could be incorporated into the text. I think the previous history of North Bridge might also be better in the text rather than in the table. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:12, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I can't say which date is correct. Note: The 1888 date is from Port of Hull Journal, Vol 46, No. 4 which is linked as a 'harvard reference' but the journal is not listed in the bibliography.

I was wondering if the entire table (which dates to when the article was stubby) would be better converted to prose, possibly with a simplified side schematic of the relative positions.

I just noticed that the information on the South Bridges which I recently added to the table, is also in part in the text. (but there is more info in the table - which is the wrong way round)Imgaril (talk) 15:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Simplifying or eliminating the table seems like the thing to do (possibly not immediately) - are there any style preferences on presentation of the information in prose eg in order of distance from source, or from the mouth , or alternatively presentation as a history of river crossings also makes some sense -it happens to group together the numerous bridges of nearly identical design together too. I have been meaning to write more on the bridges, but haven't had chance to do the proper research yet.Imgaril (talk) 15:56, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
