I grew up in Worsley (Granary Lane) - any other Wikipedians from there?-- Tuzapicabit ( talk) 20:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
I've drawn out the coat of arms of Worsely UDC and added them here. :) -- Jza84 | Talk 16:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Anyone got any good sources on this? Parrot of Doom ( talk) 23:21, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm personally inclined to opt for File:Worsley Packet House.jpg as the lead image for the infobox over the current one, rationale being that this would show Worsley's major historical landmark a little clearer and with little to anchor on to at 240px, the current image could be anywhere in the region. Both are excellent photographs though - perhaps the File:Packet house and canal worsley.jpg could go into the landmarks, transport or history section? -- Jza84 | Talk 13:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Is this scheme to recolour the water going ahead? 2.5 million - why? It's very distinctive. Perhaps their reasons for doing this would be worth mentioning. Plus, the pictures of the canal show it to be very normal looking - as I remember it, it was an opaque copper/orange colour.-- Tuzapicabit ( talk) 21:36, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
I must admit I'm struggling to add to this section. What is already there is, I suspect, misplaced. Does anyone have any up-to-date information on the large employers in the region? I can't think of any. Parrot of Doom ( talk) 22:15, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
One passes through Drywood on a route between the Vicarage and the Parish church clarification needed and over Mosley Common.
Can anyone clarify this? Parrot of Doom ( talk) 21:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

The lede says Worsley is a town, but is it? According to Salford City Council it's not one of their four town centres: https://www.salford.gov.uk/planning-building-and-regeneration/regeneration/town-centres/ Crookesmoor ( talk) 13:01, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
It appears the pronunciation should be WURZ-lee and not WORZ-lee, based on many online videos, as well as the pronunciation audio on Forvo. 67.83.99.134 ( talk) 23:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)corpho
