Ancient Monument

Could be have a reference for its designation as an Ancient Monument? --JBellis (talk) 19:15, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I can find a reference to the removal of the incline from the monuments at risk register as a result of work carried out by the Inclined Plane Trust but I cannot find a reference showing that it is a scheduled ancient monument. Tina Cordon (talk) 21:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

That reference is now in place but a Scheduled Ancient Monument reference is still needed. Tina Cordon (talk) 21:29, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Separate article for the Inclined Plane?

A lot of this article is about the inclined plane rather than the locks. Should this not simply be a cross-reference to a seperate article? Hymers2 (talk) 12:27, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

There is already a redirect (Foxton Inclined Plane) which is almost as old as the locks article itself (2003/2004). There is plenty of material/potential for the Plane to exist separately -- is there enough for the Locks to stand alone? It would make it easier to classify and link the appropriate structures. Obviously, both articles will need strong cross-linking. I would say "go ahead"!

I agree that they could exist as separate articles. Tina Cordon (talk) 20:47, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I have added an infobox Historic Site on the basis that it works well as a single article. The site and its history are very closely integrated. I hope the infobox helps a bit with that, setting out some of the different historic elements, but if there is a better infobox, or a better way of using it, that would be good to see.

URL

The URL of the governing body is not referenced anywhere on the page and all the external links seem irrelevant to the Canal & River Trust official page.

:It is already cited in the Wikipedia page that "Governing body British Waterways (The Canal & River Trust from summer 2012)[1]"
