Merge?

Colney Hatch is about a lunatic asylum (now closed). New Southgate is a suburb (still open). So I say keep separate. The difficulty is that Colney Hatch straddles two London boroughs. If Karada is keen to merge, I suggest move this article to Friern Barnet and expand it appropriately. I would refer to Hugh Petrie for arbitration (he has got a life, ie. he does not live on Wikipedia, but email would reach him). -- 05:32, 1 August 2005 (UTC) sock puppet for RHaworth[reply]

Technically speaking New Southgate only came into being with the opening of the railway in the early 1850s, and the name was not popular until twenty years later, and was as an alternative to Colney Hatch, which was already noted as a mental institution. As such it would appear that Colney Hatch and New Southgate are the same place. However they are not the same place, as New Southgate as a popular description, and as the Anglican Parish of St Pauls, covers an area which is greater than Colney Hatch, and includes lesser places like Betstyle and Brunswick Park (which traditionally is not even in the same county as Colney Hatch. Further there are places in Colney Hatch, such as Colney Hatch Lane and Summers Lane, which are definatley not in New Southgate. I agree with RHaworth moving Colney Hatch to Friern Barnet would be historically and geographically right. PS some residents still use the place name Colney Hatch, but its use is deminishing. Hugh Petrie.

Does Colney Hatch exist?

Where is the evidence, please, for the existence of a district by this name? I am not 100% convinced that it is real, and would love to see the evidence. Thanks. DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 23:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
