Neutrality

Some parts of this article are written like an advertisement; and besides that, there are grammar and notability issues. Kieranmrhunt (talk)

The proposal to reopen Charfield station has always been linked to its being in part a railway station for WuE! (It's only a mile away).. Please leave point in unless you have evidence that Glos CC & WuE Town council no longer support the scheme (jointly with South Glos.)

WuE is not ON the Little Avon (which goes more southerly from Charfield to Wickwar), but on a tributary (so NEAR, as I originally wrote). Linuxlad

When discussing subjects such as the Wotton Arts Centre, do not use it to advertise and publicise specific acts or persons, this is not what Wikipedia is for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.239.135 (talk) 22:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

"New Mills, founded in 1810, prospered by supplying both sides in the Napoleonic wars" - with what? Flour? Ironmongery? "The Wotton-under-Edge BT Tower formed part of the microwave communication network." - why the past tense? Has it been removed? "The Wotton Electric Picture House (the original name) is now a thriving venue" - for what? Film showings? Deipnosophista (talk) 18:41, 5 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72 states that Wotton-under-Edge "carried on once a considerable woollen manufacture, now nearly extinct" by which we might presume that it made woollen cloth for uniforms--a far cry from being an engineering company specialising in industrial metrology and spectroscopy. (Had to use the link to find out what Renishaw plc did to make money.) --Oldontarian (talk) 13:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Transport

edit

Hi all, Just used my lunch break to

1. Expand on details of "Wotton has never had a railway station" under Facilities to explain that Charfield was nearby and may soon reopen;

2. Create a new "Transport" section where I moved this;

3. Added details of bus routes, parking and hiking, with external links and citations to support.

Apologies for not being logged in, this is a large organisation's IP address so the edit history associated with it is nothing to do with me. Thanks! 82.108.2.131 (talk) 12:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
