Which secondary school? Where's the citation for this? Is it revelant to the article? How many other articles on towns talk about the quality of the town's schools?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.11.251.100 (talk • contribs)

Just added a major update. Would love to hear from anyone who can shed more light on the depopulation point I raise in the article. I know Tad had a much larger population in previous decades but the exact reason for the decline, aside from a leaflet I once read regarding the importance of the Wharfe for transport, is unclear.

Can't comment on the point you raise, but wanted to thank you for your exceptional work on this article. To bring it from a stub to this quality is amazing. Just wanted you to know your work is appreciated. — cBuckley (Talk • Contribs) 20:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure! Actually I was suprised to find so little info in the Wiki, and when I started editing the article I just couldn't stop. Isn't Wikipedia great? Good luck with your exams, mate. James 22:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the comments about the population of Tadcaster as a bit of research at the source for this information shows the confusion that can be caused by equating the current town of Tadcaster to the various historical administrative units with the name Tadcaster. So the comment about the fall in population is just complete nonsense. In fact I suspect if you took the geographical area of the Tadcaster Registration District in 1911, I think you would find that as Leeds has spread into areas once denominated as Tadcaster the population has multiplied several times over.

I also added the point about Tadcaster being mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. The interesting point about this is the reference to the navy. Today we assume that Tadcaster was important because of its bridge, but possibly in Roman times and up to the early Middle Ages it might have also been important as a port. Of course there is no proof of this, but it is something to bear in mind.

Etymology of name

What does the "Tad-"/"Tate-" portion of the name mean? Badagnani (talk) 01:44, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Railway in Tadcaster

Did the Tadcaster Viaduct ever carry passenger trains? Has there ever been a railway station in Tadcaster? Did the Micklethorpe to Church Fenton go via Tadcaster? There is a Station Road in Tadcaster, is this associated with a Train (or other) station? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 11:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
