County town

Now that the county council is headquartered in Reigate, making it the de facto county town, the whole section needs revising or deleting. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 09:04, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The location of the County Council does not determine the status of Count Town. However: since there is no evidence that Guildford is the County Town, I could go along with the section's deletion. Problem is, that someone is bound to readd it. 86.171.232.240 (talk) 14:45, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guildford Library (North St) opening date

While looking through back issues of the Surrey Advertiser, I came across an article about Guildford Library in North Street. It opened to borrowers on 15 August 1962. The reference is: {{cite news |title= Crowds at the new library |date= 18 August 1962 |work= Surrey Advertiser |issue= 12,209 |page= 1 }}. There may have been an official opening ceremony at a later date, but I haven't yet come across a report about it. I don't think this date needs to be added to the Guildford article at the moment, but am noting it here in case it is useful in the future. Mertbiol (talk) 10:29, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
