[edit] Photographs

I have a few photos taken in and around Dunham Massey, including the deer park, the house and from around Dunham Town, including the golf course and the Axe & Cleaver pub. I can put these up if anyone's interested. Chris From Sale 18:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question about the mill

In the History section it says "The mill at Dunham was first documented in 1353, when it lay on the River Bollin, opposite Little Bollington ...". This implies to me that the mill has moved, and is now no longer on the River Bollin, opposite Little Bollington. Is that the case? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malleus Fatuarum (talk • contribs) 14:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Good point, no it hasn't moved. Nev1 15:53, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

This article meets the Good Article criteria, and will be listed. It is well written and well constructed, with good prose. References are sufficient. True, it's missing a lot of the sections of a normal city article, like economy, culture, transportation, and education, but this is a very small town, so there probably isn't much infrastructure anyway. Good work! Dr. Cash 01:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics -- qualifications

I think the statement "Of those aged 16–74 in Dunham Massey, 42.0% had no academic qualifications, significantly higher than the 21.3% all of Trafford and 28.9% in England." might be inaccurate. From the reference, the 42% seems to refer to people with either no qualifications or only level 1 qualifications (1+ GCSE). I can't find data for England alone, but the comparable level in England & Wales is 45.65% according to tables available at Cheshire CC: [1]. Am I missing something?

Thanks for highlighting that, the figures should have included level 1 qualifications and have been corrected accordingly. Another reference giving the Trafford and England figures has been added. Sorry it took so long, but I've only just read the comment. Nev1 (talk) 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
