Talk:Parker's Piece

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Borb in topic Common

Nice start - now we need a photo of the reality checkpoint lamp post and possibly Sunday cricket in front of the University Arms Hotel. If the article grew long enough we could also include a photo of the new destinctive toilet block. We should also mention the part that Parker's Piece had to play in the development of the rules for football. There is a little more information to be found on the Cambridge local government website. -- Solipsist 08:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

You got your wish re toilet photos, threefold! (see my comment below) --Brian Josephson (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Football and "Nuts"

edit
Football, definitely - I wrote this stub because I mentioned PP in my article on "Nuts" Cobbold, the great Victorian era inside forward who played there for the University, and it came up as a red link. Mikedash 11:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Toilets

edit

There are no fewer than 3 photos of the toilets in the Gallery, but the article gives no clue as to where they are located. Should there be a special section devoted to this (no, I'm not being serious, the toilets are quite spectacular in their own way I suppose and so deserve their place in the Gallery)? --Brian Josephson (talk) 08:56, 16 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
