Talk:Sheffield & Tinsley Canal

Name

Isn't this really called the "Sheffield and Tinsley Canal" 62.25.106.209 14:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, yes, I think you're right. Pennine Waterways calls it the "Sheffield and Tinsley Canal". British Waterways doesn't call it by name, in its section on the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation. The OS map (1:25000) labels it "Sheffield and Tinsley Canal". How do we start the page renaming procedure again? --VinceBowdren 11:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The Sheffield & Tinsley is part of the South Yorkie. I agree to have the article renamed sheffield & Tinsley, I went there the other day and bought a bridge plaque, i believe the name uses '&' and not 'and', can that be used? OS map 278 uses Sheffield & Tinsley Canal up to Templeborough, 1903 and 1921 OS maps CCXCIV also have it as Tinsley & Sheffield. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 14:09, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Railway name

Sheffield_Canal#The_coming_of_the_railways

In 1846 there was a move by the long titled Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Hull and Goole Railway to acquire the Sheffield Canal Company and provide itself with a city terminus.

Isn't this the Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Goole Railway - ie Huddersfield not Hull, seems very likely but I can't confirm it.Prof.Haddock (talk) 00:12, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Sidebar Dates

The sidebar gives date of act and date of first use as 1793 and 1802 respectively, whereas the main text says the act was passed on 1815 and the canal opened in 1819. I'm guessing the sidebar is wrong? Alex Holden (talk) 22:00, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
