Talk:Kemeys Commander

Co-ordinates

I've added some co-ordinates to the page where I think Kemeys commander is but as it's quite hard to place, I would just like to ask someone to check this. Cymrog (talk) 18:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Chain Bridge or Kemeys Bridge?

To the north is Kemeys Bridge, also known locally as Chain Bridge. It's not just known as this locally, it's named this on the Ordnance Survey 1:50000 map and 1:25000 maps. It's also called Chain Bridge by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.

Therefore I suggest deleting "locally".

Should the principal name be Chain Bridge or Kemeys Bridge? Does anyone call it Kemeys Bridge?

The 1:25000 map names the farm at the west end of the bridge as Pont-Kemeys, but this may just reflect the name of the pre-1829 bridge.

As far as I know, it's known to all as Chain Bridge and no-one ever calls it "Kemeys Bridge" e.g. [1] Martinevans123 (talk) 22:17, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

I've changed the page accordingly. Do you know the date of the present bridge? I've looked for a plaque on Google Streetview without success. Architecturally I'd guess 1920s. Verbcatcher (talk) 23:05, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

D'oh, it says 1905-6 in the article. It might be clearer to give the date in the last sentence of the paragraph. Verbcatcher (talk) 23:10, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

That section looks much better now. Well done. In fact, because of road signage locally, I'd say Chain Bridge was much more recognised as a place than Kemeys Commander. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:07, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
