Confusion

[edit]

Hi guys, i was looking at this page and thought that some people unfamiliar with London or the UK might mistake the Queens house with buckingham palace. I'm sure you can see where im going. Anyway, it would be sensible for someone to add a "not to be mistaken with buckingham palace" quote at the top in italic and linking to BP. Thanks --Tukogbani (talk) 22:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one's called Buckingham Palace "the Queen's House" since the 1760s, a hatnote might look like showing off.--Wetman (talk) 01:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You gunna back that statement up? It might sound stupid to us, but not everyone knows. Its for the good of the communtiy. Jeeez --Tukogbani (talk) 11:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming we accept the idea that someone looking for the Queen's 'house', would come here, I think perhaps one of the problems with this is where would you redirect to? Buckingham Palace?, Balmoral Castle? Windsor Castle? etc.etc. There are plenty of official residences to choose from. Perhaps a brief statement of the current use of the building in the lead would do the trick, rather than have it at the bottom of the page. --Joopercoopers (talk) 11:40, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done, with a link to the List of British royal residences. Johnbod (talk) 12:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Very well improved Sir. --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose that should clear things up, nice one --Tukogbani (talk) 19:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tulip staircase photo

[edit]

The cover of a book I own, The Oxford Book of English Ghost Stories features a picture taken by Rev. R. W. Hardy at the Queen's House in 1966. Having had a bit more of a look into it I found this article on the photo on the Royal Museums Greenwich website. As I'm neither a believer in the paranormal nor know anything much about the Queens House I'm hesitant to add any information to the article. Would the photograph be notable enough to be mentioned in the article? Calistemon (talk) 13:12, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bridge over Dover road

[edit]

While the building certainly bridged a road, was it the London to Dover road which, now at least, skirts the southern edge of Greenwich Park? The guide book to the property produced by the DoE in 1976, written by John Charlton, states it bridged the Deptford to Woolwich highway which connected the two major Tudor naval shipyards. The current guide book, by Pieter van der Merwe, refers to the route as the Greenwich to Woolwich road. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:00, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
