Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden
[edit]- ... that the footpath around Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden is called the "Master's Walk"?
- The ref is a picture of the information board at the garden, i took it myself,
it isn't good enough quality for the articlebut sufficient for referencing i presume thumb|right|200px
- ALT1: ... that Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden has ponds which were originally marl pits?
- (as image above)
- ALT2:... that an 1829 tithe map shows the ponds at Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden were originally marl pits created by small-scale marl extraction?
- This ref says The history of the Walled Garden almost certainly began well before 1830, when small-scale marl extraction created the ponds which later became a major feature of the Garden. Marl pits are shown on the 1829 Grappenhall Tithe Map in approximately the same places as they are found in the Walled Garden.

Hi, I came by to promote this, and did some editing to remove close paraphrasing and align the information with the source. A few of the refs are bald URLs; could you format them please? Besides primary refs and travel guides, do you have any independent book or magazine or newspaper sources for this subject? Yoninah (talk) 20:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, I'd say refs 2, 8, 10 and 11 are independent of the subject and not travel guides, ref 10 is a newspaper talking about tripadvisor but not actually a tripadvisor link. I had trouble with the formatting of ref 4, it is a picture I took, I think that is the bare URL? I struggled to format that. Szzuk (talk) 21:15, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- There are more refs on the web that I didn't use for example [1][2][3] Szzuk (talk) 21:26, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Szzuk: I formatted the refs for you. Aside from the Warrington Guardian, you have a press release and a lot of webpages from the garden itself. If you could add book or magazine sources, it would be appreciated. Yoninah (talk) 21:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, the first ref is from Cheshire Life, which is a paper print magazine, see here [4] Szzuk (talk) 21:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I added a ref from Cheshire Life to the article. Szzuk (talk) 22:08, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Szzuk: thank you. Please format your URLs using WP:Citation templates. I could look for more RS over the weekend. Yoninah (talk) 09:10, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
