Untitled[edit]

I have rewritten a good deal of this article since:

a. there is no actual village called Whittingham, although it gives its name to the civil parish which includes Goosnargh. (see the Lancashire Parish Portal website)
b. the history of the hospital was quite clearly set down in the the first of the references, so much of the text was incorrect here.
c. the railway had a purpose - again mentioned in the reference
d. the first of the refs led nowhere to do with Whittingham; two others had little to do with the article, since the first one was never mentioned; and the second was only connected with people having the name of Whittingham.

Finally, to say that the village is "in the city of Preston" is a little odd. The city boundaries include a good deal of open space, and it is IMO better to say "within the city area of Preston". Hope that isn't too pedantic! Peter Shearan 15:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
