how relevant is the old football here?
This is a place steeped in history, with a Roman settlement and its temporary location as the home of St Cuthbert's coffin. This really needs a section. -- 129.234.4.76 09:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
i would question the link to red rose school, is this really relavant to the article?. There are many schools in chester-le-street, i fail to see the need to list one (or indeed more of them) as they add nothing to the article. If anything this link smells like some kind of advert or something
If Chester-le-Street is in County Durham, why is there a map of Tyne & Wear? DellusMaximus 18:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Chester-le-Street is not well known in the area for the quality of it's eating establishments at all. And if it was, Brenda's and Citrone's would not be the reason. This whole section seems irrelivant, and the bit about Mr.Pickwick's doesn't even make sense! Surely if Mr. Pickwick's is up market then Citrone's must be the "Poor man's Mr. Pickwick's".
Should something be added about how the name is pronounced? I've heard it (as well as Ponteland) described as the local places that are most frequently mispronounced by outsiders. A friend of mine (who used to live there) pronounces it "Chessley Street" whereas my missus (who is from 40 miles down the road) pronounces it "Chesterley Street". Some definitive guidance for us outsiders would be useful 146.87.65.10 08:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
As a good "Cestrian" (person from Chester-le-Street) myself I can confirm that people from the town and surrounding district pronounce it more like "Chess-lee-Street". In general you tend to find that other north easterners will miss pronounce it "Chesterley Street" while people from outside of the region mistake it for real French and pronounce it "Chester l'Street".
If anyone feels like typing that up in more encyclopedic language and putting it into the main article please feel free.
To most locals the town is known as "Chester".
This gave rise to confusion, anecdotally, when a prison van run by a London based company left Durham gaol with the instruction to take the prisoners to "Chester Magistrates Court". Two hours later, on non arrival, it was contacted by radio and found to be half way along the M62. —Preceding

Can someone please tell me the correct pronunciation? I live here in Chesterley, Chestley...whatever. I can tell the people at school then (The Hermitage). They will find it interesting..."Yeah right." Who said that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrandpaGroove ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion from the BBC source. The spelling their is CHEST-uhr-li-street, which according to their pronunciation guide means the middle word should be said /lɪ/. But the other two examples, westerly and me, both are /iː/. If you ignore their pronunciation guide there's no problem, which suggests whoever wrote that blog entry wasn't using that guide. As that agrees with what everyone's comments above I've undone the last change which seemed to be following the BBC PDF. Another source would be nice though.

I'm a Londoner, but my parents told me it is pronounced "Chez-lee-street". Marchino61 ( talk) 22:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Surely there should be some mention of the origin of the name? :o) — OwenBlacker 12:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
An unregistered user added a new section on beer prices, which I removed yesterday. It is written in a strange style, like advertising copy, with speculation about what people can afford, new ground and increased patronage. An unregistered user restored the addition today. Any good reason to keep it? -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 10:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The church is an interesting building and the anchorage is known nationally in architectural and religious circles. I've added a bit.

I've added a by whom to the statement about the civic centre — frankly I find it hard to believe it's been much praised by anyone, and will remove the line unless there's a source. -- John Blackburne ( words ‡ deeds) 00:30, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
I've just rewritten this based on the sources I had to hand which are pretty good and comprehensive. But in the process I removed some information which may be correct, but was not sourced. I don't think the information removed was vital, but if it were sourced it would be good to add some of it back in, especially the various names with dates. I've copied the section before I changed it below for reference. -- JohnBlackburne words deeds 16:53, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I think we should include the distinguish template:

The town's international notability as an Ashes venue means that people with varying (i.e., little) understanding of UK towns will be linked here. A hat note that makes it obvious that the town is not in any way linked to the more well known Chester would be helpful to them (i.e., me and others, I'm sure).
