I don't think the Walker should have museum infobox as it is an art gallery not a museum. I feel historic building is more suitable. If no one objects I will change it back in few days.-- NeilEvans 17:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
It says in this book it was financed by Alderman A. R. Walker which is different to this article http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=UmKKOz_vvHEC&pg=PA284&dq=alderman+a.+r.+walker&hl=en&sa=X&ei=p6znUovsLsaH0AWvhIGwDA&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=alderman%20a.%20r.%20walker&f=false Novalia ( talk) 13:20, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
This painting isn't here at all, it's in Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.213.53.15 ( talk) 06:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
This article claims (and has claimed for some time) that William Brown Street is "the only street in the United Kingdom to consist of nothing other than museums, galleries and libraries" This was added (with a load of other stuff, and without a source)
in June 2010. it was deleted
in December 2017 with the edit summary "That would be because there are only four buildings on it? It's also not even true—what about (for instance) The Mound in Edinburgh?" and restored almost immediately ( but still with no proof) along with the comment "Have not demonstrated untruth, merely nitpicking".
So as this
lacks a link to a reliable source that directly supports it (and
has been challenged in the past) I have deleted it again.
This should not be put back in the article (and should not have been put back last time) without an inline citation to a reliable source.
I would also note that as this statement has been in the wind for about 14 years it is quite likely to be
the origin of similar statements in otherwise reliable sources.
