I'm removing "Swinton and Pendlebury" to just Swinton. Swinton and Pendlebury has it's own article, this one's for Swinton, AFAIK FileTrekker 16:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)FileTrekker
I've removed the part in which Swynton implies "Swine Town", as I believe this to be incorrect. Other wikipedia pages, e.g. Carshalton suggest the -ton part is "a farm which was in some way enclosed" rather than a rendition of "town". Can anyone shed any more light on this matter.

Hi many thanks to those who replied to the question I posted on the help desk, re Swinton and counties (30 September 2012). To reply:
How can I correct the record? many thanks Gerard Dugdill
I have transferred the following two people from this page (Swinton) to Pendlebury.
Ryan Giggs did not live in Swinton. He grew up in Pendlebury (Beverley Road).
Tony Warren was not born in Swinton. He was born in Pendlebury (3 Wilton Avenue).
Some people wrongly assume Pendlebury (and also Clifton) is part of (a town called) 'Swinton' when in fact it is not. Pendlebury (and Clifton) is part of (a town called) 'Swinton and Pendlebury' (former municipal borough - 1934-1974). A great deal of this misapprehension stems from how Royal Mail have established their addressing layout for Clifton and Pendlebury. They show Clifton as "Clifton, Swinton" and Pendlebury as "Pendlebury, Swinton", both of which give the wrong impression I believe. IMO they should show these two districts without "Swinton" in the same way both Irlam (Irlam, Manchester) and Cadishead (Cadishead, Manchester) are under their M44 postcode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.233.24 ( talk) 13:11, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
I have suggested that St Peter's Church of England Primary School should be merged to the Swinton article as it is not very notable. CalzGuy ( talk) 09:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Two schools were listed on this Swinton page which are actually in "Pendlebury". These were Mossfield Road Primary School and the Swinton High School, both of which have always been recorded as Pendlebury.
In fact Mossfield Road (Newtown, Pendlebury) was, up until the 1960s, known as Moss Lane (Newtown, Pendlebury). This was causing postal confusion due to the fact that within the same postal district (M27) there was another Moss Lane (Wardley, Swinton). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.159.128.106 ( talk) 17:39, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
