Which Wath?

[edit]

Wath appears to be the name of three places in North Yorkshire, two in Harrogate borough (although one of these is in the West Riding and the other in the North Riding) and one in Ryedale. All I have to go on is the Gazetteer of British Place Names, which shows the three as follows.

PLACE NAME                       GRID    COUNTY                             Admin.   District   Unitary    Police   Health     Country  Lieut.

Does anyone have the local knowledge to translate this into an article (or three)? Yorkshire Phoenix (talk) 08:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The existing Wath, Harrogate article I have moved to Wath-in-Nidderdale which is number 1 in your list. I have redirected Wath, North Yorkshire to the main Wath dab page after moving the existing article from there to the now vacated Wath, Harrogate which would be the second entry on your list. That leaves Wath, Ryedale for the third entry which currently does not exist. Keith D (talk) 20:25, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
