Burlington vs Kirkby

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Most sources now seem to refer to these quarries as the "Kirkby Slate Quarries" rather than the "Burlington Slate Quarries" since the Burlington Stone brand operates multiple quarries now. As such I propose we rename this page to "Kirkby Slate Quarries", as it refers to the location rather than the company.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Aricooperdavis (talk • contribs)

I disagree with this. The majority of sources I can find refer to them aas Burlington Slate Quarries as the formal name. Most of the references to "Kirkby slate quarries" don't capitalise the "slate quarries" part so are not referring to this as the formal name. I suggest the article is moved back to its proper name.
