Old Merge Debate

Do Not Merge I am the originator of the Butterley Tunnel article and I accept that for this reason I am biassed in its favour. Nevertheless, here is my argument for maintaining its independence.

The tunnel is Notable for the following reasons. It is old, built in 1794. It is long, if repaired it would be the ninth longest canal tunnel in the world. It is the only mainline canal tunnel in the United Kingdom with a coal loading wharf directly from an adjacent mine into the tunnel itself. In this respect it may be unique in the world. It is sited on the Cromford Canal which is itself a Site of Special Scientific Interest with a Terminus at the Cromford Mills which is itself a World Heritage Site.

Several other pages already refer to the Butterley Tunnel, maintaining a separate page will help the users of these pages find information about the tunnel more easily.

The article is already large enough to stand alone and would take the focus of the Cromford Canal page away from its main business, The Cromford Canal. Martin Cordon 20:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Standedge Tunnels ended up in Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the redirect will mean people will be able to find stuff in anny case.Geni 01:20, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment The Standedge Canal Tunnel has its own excellent page but thanks for the redirect reassurance. Martin Cordon 01:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Deleted Image

The following image has been deleted from the article.

The end of the canal, in Cromford.

I believe the image has value with respect to this article. I understand why it should be moved from its original position but I dont understand why it should be lost completely Tina Cordon (talk) 11:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

It needn't be, but neither I nor Parrot could actually make it fit without the article looking a mess. Pictures are there to support articles, and unless the picture can be fitted without spoiling the text it has to go. Feel free to add it again, but only if it doesn't mess the article up.

Sketch map of canal

I think the sketch map of the canal http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cromford_canal.jpg shows the Cromford and High Peak Railway joining too far east - see http://www.cromfordcanal.org.uk/westpics.html and High Peak Junction. I can't tell the author, as there isn't one - anyone know who did the map?

Yes you are right. I'll correct as soon as I can, tomorrow probably (I still have original tiff) I don't know why my moniker has disappeared off it. Chevin (talk) 16:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I've done some research and it seems we were both right. I'd based my original map on the location (as seen from the train) of the actual High Peak Junction which was south of Lea Wood Tunnel. It couldn't be otherwise else the line would have to have crossed the canal. Revised images following shortly Chevin (talk) 11:04, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I think the original High Peak Junction (now the site of High Peak Junction Workshops) was the junction of the Cromford Canal and the Cromford and High Peak Railway. The junction with the Derwent Valley Line came later and was probably when the High Peak railway was extended down the southern bank of the River Derwent. User:Hogyn_Lleol and I are trying to reconcile the information on the Derbyshire CC website, the Cromford Canal article and the current High Peak and canal wikipedia maps but there are plenty of ambiguities on the external web site references - User_talk:Scillystuff#Cromford_Wharf_etc. Scillystuff (talk) 12:36, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
