Broughton Shopping Park

Thanks for sorting that. I was not sure. Original version had it the other way. As you can see, I took some criticism for making it Bretton. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:05, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra:; No problem, the editor was rightfully banned anyway, and I additionally find it amusing of the name they gave me :D. Although, despite the language they do raise a point, wished they brought(on) it to the talk page though. — Dank · Jay (talk) 02:41, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
The shopping park's location is ambiguous as the park is situated right in between both settlements. As Broughton is the larger settlement near by, it takes its name, but the park is closer to the centre of Bretton than the centre of Broughton but the park is more connected to Broughton.

I opted to use the park's official website address which lists it as Bretton, although colloquially it is mostly regarded to be in Broughton due to the name, it's not called Bretton Shopping Park. Some stores in the park and the park itself sometimes styles themselves to be in Chester amusingly. Furthermore, British Land lists it as Broughton, Chester (City across the border). I'm debating whether to add a note or changing it to be "in between Bretton and Broughton" though as in the end there is no clear answer. Would "near Broughton and Bretton" for the infobox and "in between Bretton and Broughton" for the lead help? — Dank · Jay (talk) 02:41, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
That's a good one. Here we have postal addresses that say a place is in a different city than the one it's in. I guess it's whatever entity's corporate limits it's in. Probably as you suggest, if it would not break the infobox. When a place is between towns here, I've left it at "Pinellas County". --Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
