Chester Castle listed building



thumb ↗Hi Peter – season's greetings to you. I was out and about in Chester on Christmas Day (taking advantage of the quiet streets!) and photographed the artillery stores in Chester Castle ↗ (right) – but I can't find an entry in any of your "Grade II listed buildings in Chester ↗" articles. I assume it should fall under Grade II listed buildings in Chester (south) ↗ but before I create a new entry, can you confirm I haven't missed it somewhere else? Dave.Dunford (talk) 18:20, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
:Happy Christmas, David! I agree; I cannot find it in any of the lists. I should be very happy for you to add it to "south". I remember being somewhat confused about the buildings around the castle at the time.
::Thanks – done. Dave.Dunford (talk) 20:41, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
:::Thanks Dave for adding the item. On reflection, "south" refers to south of the river, so I have moved it into the "central" list, where it more correctly fits. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:57, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

North Yorkshire



Very happy to see you are moving on to North Yorkshire! I will try to write articles on the more notable buildings after you've created the corresponding articles.

Great work once again on the Nottinghamshire series. I think you're just missing articles on listed buildings in the two Gamstons?

Happy New Year! Warofdreams ''talk'' 19:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

:Happy New Year to you too! And thanks for your comments. Gamston, Rushcliffe has only one LB, so that does not make a list - perhaps a reference to it could be made in the village article. I did miss Gamston, Bassetlasw, which has 5 LBs, so I will prepare a list for that. Best wishes, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Boughton Lodge ↗



Hi I was about to add this article to the Listed buildings in Great Boughton ↗ as that seems the right place for it but I wondered if you thought it didn’t belong there for some reason? Thanks Mccapra (talk) 06:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
:Wow, that takes me back over 10 years. Thanks for your interest. Since the lists were created, Cheshire has been bedevilled by boundary changes. Great Boughton was then a civil parish, but now no longer. Boughton Lodge was not in the parish, but in the eastern part of the city of Chester, known as Boughton (sometime confusingly as Great Boughton). So I included Boughton Lodge in the city list rather than the parish list. Today, I have altered the text of the Great Boughton list, and in the Chester list have linked the Lodge and added the photo from the Lodge article (which I discover I created 13 years ago but later failed to link in the list). Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:11, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
::Then my work here is done! I thought the reason might be to do with boundaries and didn’t want to mess up your work. Thanks for sorting it all out. Mccapra (talk) 10:34, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Lumb near Edenfield (Lancs)



Hi Peter. I was out and about on the Greater Manchester/Lancashire border last week and photographed a couple of listed buildings in Lumb, near Edenfield. I think these should be in Listed buildings in Rawtenstall ↗ but I can't find them. Buildings are Lumb Old Hall ↗, Lumb Viaduct ↗ and Lumb Bridge ↗. Any idea where the might be or where I should add them? Dave.Dunford (talk) 11:10, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
:Hello, Dave. It's the nightmare of unparished areas and finding all the included buildings. I did miss these listed buildings and have now added them. Cheers.--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 18:16, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Query


Hello! I'm a long time lurker and admirer of your listed building lists. Do you know which of the Eaton Hall estate lodges was the home of Anne Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster ↗? Christies wrote that "After her husband's death, Nancy moved to a charming smaller house in the park at Eaton in Cheshire that had been built as a gamekeeper's lodge in the style of a 'cottage orné', with a luncheon room for shooting parties".https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-4346108 ↗ "Eaton Lodge" is routinely used in references, but it hardly narrows it down on the NHLE. Regards - No Swan So Fine (talk) 14:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
:{{tps}} - It's the one that looks like this, https://www.jackson-stops.co.uk/articles/country-house-for-rent-within-the-private-parkland-of-eaton-hall-home-of-the-duke-duchess-of-westminster ↗ and it was available for rent, but the brochure just gives a 404 error now. The article says it's Douglas work, so it may be in his biography, which I think Peter has. My copy's in a box but I'll look it up when I can. KJP1 (talk) 14:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
::Fancy meeting you here .... I've found archived brochure ↗ but no photos alas. I assume it's listed, but it has had so much work done. No Swan So Fine (talk) 15:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
:::Sorry, but I cannot be sure. The estate agent says it was designed by John Douglas ↗, which narrows it a bit. Listed buildings in Eaton, west Cheshire ↗ includes three buildings with the title "Lodge" designed by Douglas, Upper Belgrave Lodge ↗, Stud Lodge ↗, and Belgrave Lodge ↗. I don't have a copy of the biography. Good luck, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Brompton, west North Yorkshire


I found a convenient list of the listed buildings in the other Brompton: https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/brompton-hambleton-north-yorkshire ↗. Warofdreams ''talk'' 21:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
:Many thanks. I have just started Brompton-on-Swale, which will be followed by the "other Brompton". Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Broughton, Craven



Here's the list for the Broughton which has more than one listed building: https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/broughton-craven-north-yorkshire ↗. Warofdreams ''talk'' 14:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks (lots of boundary stones!). --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:12, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Carlton in Cleveland



Nice work on competing the many, many North Yorkshire parishes beginning with B! I thought this link ↗ to the listed buildings in Carlton in Cleveland might be useful. Warofdreams ''talk'' 00:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks for filling the gaps in the index of BLB. And also thanks to you for writing articles on many important listed buildings previously overlooked. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:51, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Pilsley, Derbyshire Dales



Hi Peter. When you were compiling your lists for Derbyshire, did you accidentally miss Pilsley, Derbyshire Dales ↗? It's a village and civil parish with a number of listed buildings. There's another Pilsley in Derbyshire (covered at Listed buildings in Pilsley, North East Derbyshire ↗) which might be a reason for the omission. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks. Yes, I missed it. Will do it. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:30, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
::Done. Photo opportunities? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Indeed. I was looking at the Wiki Loves Monuments map and noticed there were rich pickings to be had. I can feel a trip coming on. Thanks for the new article. Dave.Dunford (talk) 16:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

The Yealands ↗



Hallo Peter, two parishes have been combined into one. I don't know to what extent you keep the lists of listed buildings up to date in cases like this, but you might, or might not, want to merge Listed buildings in Yealand Conyers ↗ and Listed buildings in Yealand Redmayne ↗.

(As an aside, if the coords links include "|region:GB", then a click on them offers UK-specific links eg to OS maps on Bing or Streetmap, which can be helpful. A thought: maybe upgrading all those links in all those lists is something someone could write a bot to do as a one-off? I don't know much about bot requests.) <span style="color: green">'''''Pam'''''</span><span style="color: brown">'''''D'''''</span> 11:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
:Hello, Pam. Thanks for your message. Keeping up with changes in parishes is a nightmare. I feel fully occupied with providing links to as many listed buildings as possible in at least a "good enough" manner. At present, I am ploughing through North Yorkshire, which has more parishes than I expected. I would be very happy for someone to make the changes you suggest, but do not feel I have the commitment to do this myself at present. Sorry. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 11:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
::I might have a go some time at merging the two Yealands (just down the road from here), and perhaps tweak their coords as I do so. But ought to be getting on with some Real Life stuff. I think I'll make a suggestion at WP: UK Geography about the idea of a bot to fix all coords. All the best, on a miserably wet day. <span style="color: green">'''''Pam'''''</span><span style="color: brown">'''''D'''''</span> 11:33, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
:::Good idea. It's maybe a bit to do with a balance between comprehensiveness and perfection. The rain has only just started here - north Cheshire. Best wishes, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 12:45, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
::::Well I decided to go ahead and create Listed buildings in The Yealands ↗ (capitalisation of "The" as in Listed buildings in The Gorge ↗, after a bit of thought). I know I still need to reorder the table entries into chronological sequence, but I think everything else has survived my meddling. I'd be reassured if you'd have a look at it, in case I missed any subtleties!
::::I need to add the War Memorial ↗, but it's lunchtime. Thanks for all your amazing work on these lists! <span style="color: green">'''''Pam'''''</span><span style="color: brown">'''''D'''''</span> 12:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
:::::Well done! It looks fine to me. And thanks for the comments - much appreciated. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 12:13, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Austin and Paley



Greetings Peter – hope all is well! Taking you back some years to your fine work on the Austin and Paley partnership and its variants: while browsing the ''Hampshire: South'' edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides ↗ just now I spotted a quote which might be useful. Not sure where to put it, so I'll leave it here if you wish to use it: {{xt|Temple Moore ↗ and Austin & Paley [were] the most original Gothicists working c.1900}}. (It's comparing the young Giles Gilbert Scott ↗ to them in relation to his first church design ↗.) Citation template: {{cite book|last1=O'Brien|first1=Charles|last2=Bailey|first2=Bruce|last3=Pevsner|first3=Nikolaus|author-link3=Nikolaus Pevsner|last4=Lloyd|first4=David W.|title=Hampshire: South|series=The Buildings of England ↗|year=2018|publisher=Yale University Press ↗|location=London|isbn=978-0-300-22503-7}} Cheers, <span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b style="color: #00BFFF;">Hassocks</b><span style="color: #228B22;">5489</span><span style="color: #C71585;"><small> (Floreat Hova!)</small></span></span> 10:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
:Hello - Good to hear from you again, and thanks for the info. As you know, the partnership in its various forms designed most of its buildings in the northwest, so it is surprising, to me, to see a reference to them in a Hampshire Pevsner, although I don't think that there is a Hampshire church by them, is there? In the last section of the article is a quotation by Pevsner himself, and I do not feel that the quote in the latest Hampshire Pevsner really adds anything, so I will not disturb the article as it stands. But thanks again for the suggestion and for drawing my attention to it. Best wishes, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 13:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Fylingdales Moor



Well done on completing the lengthy listed buildings in Fylingdales ↗. Fylingdales is unusual in that part of the land in the parish is shared with the parish of Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre. British Listed Buildings covers the two buildings in that area here ↗. As the area is essentially Fylingdales Moor, can I suggest creating an article listed buildings in Fylingdales Moor ↗ to cover them, and mention it in the intros to both the Fylingdales and upcoming Hawkser lists? Warofdreams ''talk'' 21:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks for your comments. It certainly took some time to complete - nearly, as your link to BLB revels a listed building in Fylingthorpe that I had missed. I fail to understand why this should be in a "combined" parish, when nearby buildings in the village are in Fylingdales. Anyway I am going to add it to the Fylingdales list, which seems to me the pragmatic solution.
:Is Fylingdales Moor an officially recognised area? There is no article about it in Wikipedia. I am reluctant to create the article you suggest unless I can link it to an article describing where and what it is. Thoughts? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:45, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
::It is an odd situation, a hangover from before the Enclosure Acts. Winchester's ''Common Land in Britain'' lists ↗ two other examples in England of land lying in multiple parishes (Hamsterley Common in County Durham, and part of Dartmoor around Woodcock Hill), but a quick check suggests neither of those areas have any listed buildings. Fylingdales Moor is a recognised area in that it's the defined area of a Higher Level Stewardship Partnership, and it's a location referred to in various guides, etc. I think that listing the two buildings in the Fylingdales article is a fair solution, so long as there is a note in the Hawkser article about those two buildings in the parish being listed under Fylingdales. Warofdreams ''talk'' 20:19, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
:::Thanks. Sounds the best plan. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Henderskelfe



Morning Peter, hope you are keeping well. Am I right in thinking you are working towards the parish of Henderskelfe ↗, North Yorkshire? Are you up to the Gs? I ask only because I'm thinking of doing something on Castle Howard ↗, and the total number of listed buildings on the estate will be enormous! So it would be good to have a list to check against. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 07:24, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
: Hello. Yes, I am moving in that direction, but may not be there until the New Year. You are correct, according to the NHLE there are 62 listed buildings in the parish; you can find them by going to the website and type the name in the "parish" field on the Advanced Search page. Or on British Listed Buildings at https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/henderskelfe-ryedale-north-yorkshire. Castle Howard will certainly be a challenge. Good luck! --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 12:15, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
::Peter - that’s excellent, and I look forward to seeing the list. Have a great Christmas in case we don’t speak before. KJP1 (talk) 16:35, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
:::Good. Happy Christmas to you, too, and looking forward to lots more interesting listed buildings in 2005. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:49, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
::::Listed buildings in Henderskelfe ↗ has been completed and published. All its 62 listed buildings are associated with Castle Howard.Good luck. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:42, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Listed buildings in Bishop Thornton, Shaw Mills and Warsill ↗



Hello, I think I have spotted a rare example of an omission in your excellent series of lists of LBs in North Yorkshire. I was surprised that you list included no listed buildings in Warsill, so I went looking, and found just one - Warsill Hall Farmhouse https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1251860?section=official-list-entry ↗ You will see that it is listed as in the parish of Warsill ↗, which is correct, not in the parish of Bishop Thornton, Shaw Mills and Warsill, which is a parish which does not exist.

North Yorkshire has many very small civil parishes like Warsill (I live in one). In most cases these small parishes share a "grouped" parish council with one or more neighbouring parishes, and this can lead to confusion as to whether the group of parishes is a single parish. In many ways they are treated as single parishes, but legally they are not. The constituent parishes continue to exist, appear on OS maps, and are still used for some purposes (e.g. the designation of public rights of way).

In this case it looks like even the parish council (which refers to its area as a single parish on its website) has got this wrong, and so has Historic England!

Maybe something to watch out for as you work your way through the rest of the county. Mhockey (talk) 18:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks for the helpful message. I guess that you realise I do not always know in which precise list to include each listed building, and do my best with the "reliable" sources available to me. Right or wrong, it is more important to me that all the listed buildings are recorded somewhere, rather than in whatever is their precise legal location. I might sometimes be wrong, but IMO it is better than nothing.
:Thanks for spotting the listed building in Warsill. As I work alphabetically, it would have been some time until I arrived there. And as it is a lone item, may not have known where to place it. It has now been added to the most "appropriate" list. Without local knowledge, it is difficult to knew where to place the items when there is only one listed building in the parish. All help in this respect is helpful. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy New Year!


Happy New Year! I'm continuing to enjoy your new articles on listed buildings in North Yorkshire, and writing the spin-off articles on individual buildings. Looking forward to another successful year - will be interesting to see if we reach York before 2026! Warofdreams ''talk'' 20:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
:And Happy New Year to you as well! Your "spin-off" articles make the creation of the lists so much more worthwhile. As you say, York may be a while in the future - and I shall no doubt need some advice on combining the small areas/wards, as there are a few singletons. --Peter I.

Hillam



Hello Peter, and happy new year. I am catching up from the break without an internet connection and came to Listed buildings in Hillam ↗. The first short ref has brackets around it and looks odd, is there a reason for this? If not needed then you could use : to suppress the brackets. Keith D (talk) 19:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
:Thanks, Keith. Good tip. There's so much to learn......! Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:42, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

List of war memorials in Surrey



Hi {{ping|Peter I. Vardy}} I hope you don't mind me contacting you, but I am seeking your advice as someone who has successfully nominated Featured Lists.<br>
{{u|Murgatroyd49}} and I would like to create a List of war memorials in Surrey ↗ page, using material from the List of public art in Surrey ↗ article. The latter currently lists over 70 memorials and my feeling is that there are at least another 50 (and very possibly another 100) still to add. A new list would also give us the opportunity to include "indoor" memorials, which are excluded from the scope of the public art page (I know of around a dozen villages that don't have an "outdoor" memorial, but do have plaques inside their churches, for example.)<br>
Before we go ahead and formally propose the split, we would like to consider whether the table format that's currently used is the most appropriate. I have half an eye on a Featured List nomination in the very far future, so I am keen to make sure that any formatting/layout decisions we take now do not cause us difficulty with reviewers. We have been playing around with some possible options at User:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. Would you be able to drop by and let us know what you think please? We have started a discussion at User talk:Murgatroyd49/sandbox3. There's also the question of breaking up the table by grouping the memorials into different categories by design/appearance.<br>
It would be great to get your perspective. Thanks very much for your help. Mertbiol (talk) 13:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
:Thanks for your query. It's over a decade since I submitted a list to be featured, and I have no idea of what format of tables is now favoured, if any. One of my later FLs is List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in Southeast England ↗, and since then the format I have used for listed buildings has been similar, with the first two columns combined. A type of format that seems much used is in Grade II* listed buildings in Cheshire West and Chester ↗. (You may like it; I don't - but that's personal.) To me, List of public art in Surrey ↗ looks messy - just personal again. I'm pretty sure that the content is more important than the format, and suggest that you use the format that seems most comfortable for you. Good luck! Lots of hard and fascinating work ahead. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:40, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks very much for this input! Best wishes, Mertbiol (talk) 17:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Listed buildings straddling parish boundaries



I was wondering how you deal with listed buildings (typically bridges) which straddle parish boundaries. An example I came across was Smelthouses Bridge ↗, which you have in Hartwith cum Winsley ↗, but the official list has in High and Low Bishopside ↗. In fact it crosses Fell Beck, which here forms the parish boundary. Do you think it would be better to put such cases in both lists? Mhockey (talk) 11:00, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
:Thanks. Yes - I usually add these listed buildings to more than one list if I come across them. In fact, this very morning I added a bridge to two parish lists. It is inevitable that there are more that I have missed, so please draw my attention to them if you spot them. I have now carried out the addition you suggest. --Peter I.

Post Office, Old Malton


I've had time recently to visit a couple of local towns and take some photos of buildings, using your lists to identify which don't already have one. I was just adding some photos to Listed buildings in Malton, North Yorkshire (outer areas) ↗, and unless I've missed it under another name, the former Post Office ↗ in Old Malton is missing.

:Thanks for spotting that - it's now been added, including your photo. Thanks for adding photos to the lists, and for writing articles bout the buildings; it makes the creation of the lists more worthwhile. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 12:49, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Temple Terrace, Richmond


Great to see another long list for me to get stuck into! I've spotted one missing building - 5-7 Temple Terrace ↗ - which I conveniently have a photo of: :File:5-7 Temple Terrace.jpg ↗. Warofdreams ''talk'' 21:40, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
:I'm not surprised that in a list of this size that I missed this one - there may be more. I have added it to the list, but have now received a message that the list is too large and not all templates are showing. I knew that this was a risk, and thought I had got away with it. So my next task will be to split it. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:14, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
::List split. Hope it works OK. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:14, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

de-listed buildings



Gooday. I recently tweaked a ref ↗, the prose of which I'd added in 2023 ↗; I've re-checked the (local 'paper) 2011 hard source (which states "...is a Grade II listed building..."), but cannot find any official listing for the sports/changing pavilion, including a 1993 local council document in my house.

Would you know of any way to easily check for de-listing, or, failing that, would you recommend simply deleting a few words? Many thanks.-- 82.13.47.210 ↗ (talk) 19:29, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
: Hello. I cannot find any evidence that the sports pavilion is, or ever has been listed. If so, "delisting" is not relevant. Suggest you just delete the words. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:51, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
::Agreed, thanks for your extensive work in building the 'pedia {{smiley}}. Rgds, Steve.--82.13.47.210 ↗ (talk) 11:40, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Listed buildings in Scotton, Harrogate



Great progress on the listed buildings in North Yorkshire! Just wanted to point out the missing article on the listed buildings in Scotton, Harrogate ↗ - there's a list here ↗. Warofdreams ''talk'' 22:38, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

A happy new year to you, thank you for your continued excellent contributions, always a pleasure to see them and write related articles. Looking forward to seeing the completion of North Yorkshire this year and what you choose to tackle next! Warofdreams ''talk'' 22:08, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you. And a Happy New Year to you, too. It is always good, not only to know that the lists are seen, but that they can be used to develop new articles. It makes the time spent on compiling the lists even more worthwhile. Keep up the good work! I hope that 2026 is a good year for you. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:57, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Listed buildings in Hampsthwaite


I just added a red link to listed buildings in Hampsthwaite ↗. On the list on British Listed Buildings, it says "see Harrogate - Killinghall Ward", but it actually is a civil parish in its own right with several listed buildings not on the list for that ward: https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/hampsthwaite-harrogate-north-yorkshire ↗. Warofdreams ''talk'' 22:54, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

High Abbotside



Hello Peter,

There is a problem with Listed buildings in High Abbotside ↗ with reference 1 giving a harv error. I think it is because you have introduced a date in to the reference that does not appear in other lists. Keith D (talk) 12:44, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

All Saint's Church, Yafforth



Hello; you've added All Saints' Church, Yafforth ↗ to Wikipedia:The UK and Ireland 20,000 Challenge ↗, but it's existed for some time, and you haven't de-stubbed it or anything. As you put in the entry on the challenge ''New List'', is it possible you've appended this article in error and meant it to be something else? Presumably Listed buildings in Yafforth ↗? Thanks. The joy of all things (talk) 15:35, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:Thanks. You are absolutely right. Now corrected. Sorry, I am not on top form today. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:52, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Listed buildings in North Yorkshire



Congratulations on completing the district of North Yorkshire, I know it's been a massive job and it's been great following in your tracks and writing about buildings. Great to see you're planning on tackling the East Riding, I may well write about some buildings there in the same way. Are you thinking of covering the other (much smaller) bits of North Yorkshire some time? Would be satisfying to also cover the bits of Teesside in NY and also the City of York (where I know someone has put together a basic list for the central area but there are no details and the outlying areas aren't covered at all). Warofdreams ''talk'' 18:16, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:Thank you for your comments. It's been good to work together. If you let me know the remaining "bits" of North Yorkshire I'll add them to my to do some time list! Your articles relating to the lists I have created has made the process more worthwhile. Keep it up! Peter I. Vardy (talk) 18:33, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::The other bits are:
::* Redcar and Cleveland ↗
::* Middlesbrough ↗
::* Stockton-on-Tees ↗ - only the southern part is in North Yorkshire but might make sense to do the whole district at once
::* City of York ↗. I think the very basic lists cover Guildhall, Micklegate and New Warwick wards though would take time to check, definitely doesn't cover the outlying parishes. As I've said before, I'd be in favour of essentially restarting from scratch, perhaps using the existing list to source photos if useful, but of course up to you. Warofdreams ''talk'' 19:12, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Good plan. These are all, I think, unitary authorities, and as such I can deal with them as separate lists including the City of York. I shall have to extend my library of Pevsners! Peter I. Vardy (talk) 07:26, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Listed buildings in Bilton, East Riding of Yorkshire



Hello Peter,

I think that there is a problem with Listed buildings in Bilton, East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ as all of the references refer to Bewholme rather than Bilton. It could be just a typo or they are pointing to the wrong NHLE entry. Keith D (talk) 22:47, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
:Hi, Keith. My mistake(s) - corrected. Thanks for drawing it to my attention. Cheers Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:57, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Swan Hotel, Bolton



Hi Peter I. Vardy, hope you're well. Over the past few months I've been creating articles for all of the listed pubs across Greater Manchester. With the existing pages included, the total now comes to 137 pubs, and I'm on to the last few - currently The Swan / Swan Hotel, which appears in Listed buildings in Bolton ↗. I've been trying to trace the source for its stated construction date of 1849. The page cited from Hartwell et al. (2004) doesn't seem to mention the building on Bradshawgate when I checked the relevant sections on Google Books, and the NHLE listing states construction was in four main phases between about 1800 and around 1900. The only other source I've found is from CAMRA ↗ and they give 1845. I just wondered if you might be able to shed any further light. Many thanks. Mmberney (talk) 13:12, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
:Hello. I've been following your excellent work on the listed pubs. I'm afraid that I have no more sources than you. Maybe I would go for the Hartwell (and CAMRA) rebuilding date of 1845 (p. 146 - the pub is on the corner of Bradshawgate and Churchgate), stating that it was rebuilt at this time (we of course do not know the extent of the rebuilding) and probably incorporated earlier material. Or you may come up with something better! Cheers.Peter I. Vardy (talk) 13:49, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
::I decided it was high time I ordered my own copy of Hartwell, especially given there are about 100 note sections to add to the Draft:Listed pubs in Greater Manchester ↗ article I'm also working on! All the best. Mmberney (talk) 15:49, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Good plan! You are undertaking a big project, and I am sure you will find your own copy of Hartwell helpful. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:12, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
