[Untitled][edit]

How can there be an article about Lechlade without a section about tourism and antiques? Just a thought.

Go for it, then! - Ballista 05:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image relocation[edit]

Hi - no real issue with the moving of image to the right. However, I feel that the article has now lost some cohesion by the appearance of consequent large white space and the image in question being in a section away from its relevant text. - Ballista 05:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I jut didn't like the artificial spacing at the top, but let's see again how it looks the other way (I leave it to you to make change). --mervyn 08:57, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Taken the point & shuffled things a bit - how do you like this? - Ballista 05:44, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A definite improvement, thanks! --mervyn 09:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bakery[edit]

The first line mentions the bakery. Didn't this close down several years ago? - ElectricMonk11 12:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

                Yes, it did.

Regarding the section entitled "The River Thames"[edit]

This sentence seems very weak and non-specific to the subject matter:

"It is possible to travel by river or on foot from here to London."

It is possible to travel from anywhere in the mainland UK to London on foot. Maybe this could be suitably revised?

Revised it to mention the Thames Path, which is what I think the original editor meant. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 21:39, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Introductory sentence[edit]

Lechlade isn't "at at the southern edge of the Cotswolds".

It's east of the Cotswolds. The escarpment goes down to Bath.

The Cotswolds are essentially hills. Lechlade is low-lying land around the Thames Valley. The Cotswold Water Park is nearby - no doubt called that because it sounds nice. Not really the Cotswolds, maybe just in, but definitely not south of the Cotswolds. Here's a map of the Cotswolds - Lechlade is to the east of this.

It is technically south-ish of the main part of the Cotswolds, if you go due north from the town you end up in the Cotswolds. Best not to mention the direction. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 19:02, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
