Pronunciation - references required

As pronunciation is an evolving thing according the the relevant pronunciations on write about places everyone in this part of Devon certainly in the younger generations seems to say it just like the places with Teign (excluding Teignmouth which Tinmouth. Some reliable references needed.Adam37 (talk) 20:06, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Having puzzled over this myself I tried to get a feel for how it's pronounced locally. The River generally seems to be "'Teen", but the towns "Tinmouth" and even "Kingstaynton", "Drewstaynton"! Refs may be hard to come by.ChrisHodgesUK (talk) 11:37, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Submerged artifacts

There is clearly something interesting submerged in the River Teign (see photo). Can anyone identify this?

Submerged artifact found on various maps.

This can be seen on various maps, including sources such as Bing and Google Maps/Google Earth.

Length

A figure is given in the infobox and lede for the length of the Teign (50km / 31 miles) but no source is given for that figure. Due to this uncertainty I have, as with some other watercourses where dubious lengths have been asserted, painstakingly measured its length on online 1:25,000 scale OS mapping using a digital tool and determined it at 61.0km / 37.9 miles (Teign Head, source of the North Teign River to the county limit at the seaward end)- I'd be confident of the accuracy of the figure to within less than 1%. It's a significantly different figure. This is of course original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what a true figure should look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 09:32, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
