Ellesmere Port is on the Wirral Peninsula, even though it's not part of the Wirral borough. -- RFBailey 20:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
I was born in 1980, and as far as I know, the Lewis's store was there before then; so it was not built 'to complement the opening of the Port Arcades'. My memory of it is hazy, but I think the first new shop to open was TJ Hughes, followed by Asda.
I don't want to revert anything if someone knows this better than I do, but I'd like to see a citation to back up this claim. I know it was written a while ago, but I've been away for some time. Well not completely away, but I haven't been paying much attention to Wikipedia. -- Steve Farrell 11:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty certain that Lewis' store was built well before the Port Arcades (which I think were built in the 90's but I'm not certain)it was then taken over by ASDA about 25 years ago and now is the indoor market. Articrainbow ( talk) 13:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Someone told me crazy prisoner Charles Bronson was from the Port, though I doubt it. Also, Rob Jones is from Wrexham. ToneLa (talk)
I've tagged all deceased people who are listed in the section, and I've also removed to be placed here, all living people. This was advised as being the correct course of action, as WP:BLP applies even though the article is not primarily a biographical article. Once appropriate verification is carried out by citing good reliable sources for each entry, then the newly verified entry, together with its citatoions, can be placed back into the article. Note that wikipedia cannot be used to verify this information, and so, if a good verification is present in a person's article on wikipedia, it should be transferred over to this article to yield separate verification. Thanks. DDStretch (talk) 13:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I think that's it so far. DDStretch (talk) 13:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Some of the names look fake, other places appear to be separate villages. References are needed. Peter James ( talk) 08:19, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
Grange Farm Estate (or part of it) was built before the 1950s. Google books has a reference to houses there damaged in World War II ( Surveyor, Volume 104, Page 806). Ellesmere Port Pioneer's Ellesmere Port history page suggests it was built later, but it may have used Wikipedia as a source for its information. Peter James ( talk) 12:51, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi
Whilst the information about Ellesmere Port is obviously of interest, the area was usually called Netherpool at the turn of the 20th Century, and was known as the site of the Manchester Ship Canal Co works (see 1901 Census) whilst the Canal was being constructed. A number of my ancestors lived and worked in and around Netherpool along with many hundreds if not thousands of other canal workers, often in quite appalling conditions and this has been overlooked in the article and I believe that in relating details about Ellesmere Port it should have a mention of this time of great economic importance to the area. The Manchester Ship Canal Co Archives contain some fantastic photos of workers and housing taken at the time.

Right. Enough of this. I've partially protected the article for 3 months and I've blocked anonymous editors from editing from the IP account that's been doing all the latest disruption. DDStretch (talk) 17:49, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
