Talk:Worsley Navigable Levels

Entrance to Worsley Navigable Levels at Worsley Delph

Coordinates of entrance. 53 30'02.2"N 2 22'52.2"W. It is very difficult to provide the surface coordinates of significant underground structures unfortunately. Tina Cordon 14:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Classification

I don't think I understand what classification is all about. Are you rating the article or the importance of the subject matter? Tina Cordon (talk) 21:25, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

The article - when this article was last classified, C-class was not available. Given the amount of information I would say its just beyond Start-Class, but the lack of inline citations for me makes it certainly not B-class. The importance of the subject matter is covered in WP:NOTE Parrot of Doom (talk) 22:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

On that basis C-class is fair. Obviously I believe the subject matter is important, but I agree that this article could be improved and expanded and should be in order to give the subject the respect it deserves. Tina Cordon (talk) 23:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh I certainly agree it is an important subject - considering the impact the canal had on the industrial revolution in Manchester I'd say it's right up at the top of things to do history-wise for Manchester. I have tried to gain access to those mines to take a photographic record (I am a television cameraman by trade) but unfortunately, and somewhat understandably, British Coal are extremely reluctant to allow anyone to have anything to do with any aspect of the mines. We've been trying to get the Bridgewater article improved, right now it's at GA but I feel it has a very long way to go until it's worthy of FAC. Parrot of Doom (talk) 23:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I've added some in-line references and now that I've found Francis Egerton's pamphlet as mentioned below I will endeavour to expand the section referring to the underground incline. Tina Cordon (talk) 14:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Description du Plan Incliné Souterrain

The Description du Plan Incliné Souterrain by Francis Egerton is available for free download at Google Books. It is of course in French. Tina Cordon (talk) 14:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't get it.

Is this place some kind of a nega-Venice? If Venice is aquatic heaven, then this place with its 47 miles of sub-terranean dungeon canals should be aquatic hell? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.83.33.58 (talk) 22:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
