Patrick Abercrombie blue plaque

[edit]

There is a file available of the commemorative Blue Plaque to Patrick Abercrombie on 18 Village Road, Oxton. Would anyone object if this was referenced within this article somewhere?

Article missing Early life section

[edit]

This is a long article to have zero background on the early life of the subject, it seems odd to jump straight into senior roles.

  • Pioneers in British Planning (1981) - Page 103. Gordon Emanuel Cherry [1]
  • The Reader's Companion to Twentieth-century Writers (1995) - Page 1. Peter Parker, ‎Frank Kermode · 1995: Abercrombie was born at Ashton - on - Mersey , Cheshire , the eighth of nine children of a stockbroker ( Patrick Abercrombie , the regional planner , was a brother ) . He attended Malvern College , then read chemistry at Owens College:[2]
  • Architects of Greater Manchester (online resource): [3]

Good point. I've started to add a little from the Manchester architects' site - the others are not accessible to me. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:28, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
