Bus garage[edit]

The following text:

"Mortlake bus garage, situated in Avondale Road, was closed in 1983. Much of the site was rebuilt as housing but a small area near the railway was retained as a turning point for buses, with toilet facilities and a small office. Mortlake garage had opened very early in the 20th century and originally catered for horse buses. In later years the stables were converted into the traffic office."

was replace with "Mortlake bus garage is situated in Avondale Road." by 90.198.218.161.

I am reinserting this as the text is correct: the present structure is not a garage and the deleted text correctly describes the site. DavidCh0 (talk) 14:06, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stag brewery - foundation date[edit]

The statement that "Mortlake Brewery ... had existed since the fifteenth century" may well be in Turton and Richmond's book, but unfortunately it's not true. There is NO evidence of a continual history of brewing on the site since the 15th century. Zythophile (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Compulsive Law?[edit]

What does this mean? Compuslory law (as opposed to optional law)? The etymological claims or suggestions really need reliable sources, especially as there is so much uncertainty in this case. Norvo (talk) 03:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Norvo: I don't understand what this is about. Headhitter (talk) 14:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Headhitter. I should have given the section or quoted in detail. The section on the etymology of Mortlake reads: "The name Mortlake may be derived from mortuus lacus, Latin for "dead lake". In Domesday Book (1086) it is referred to as Mortlage, which in the Saxon language signifies a compulsive law.[2]" The expression compulsive law doesn't make sense. I'd add that I think someone needs to look at a more recent source than one that appeared in 1792. I note the Oxford Dictionary of Place-Names is given as a source for the uncontroversial statement that Mortlake is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames but is ignored in connection with the etymology.
