Whittingham is a civil parish in the City of Preston, Lancashire, England. The parish measures east-to-west, from the outskirts of Longridge to the outskirts of Broughton, but only 1 mile (1½ km) north-to-south. Its population was 2,189 in 2001.〔(Neighbourhood Statistics: Whittingham (CP) Parish ), accessed 12 November 2007〕 The village of Goosnargh is at its centre. The parish once contained the largest mental hospital in England, North West England’s nuclear bunker, and, according to legend, a giant cow. ==Goosnargh and Whittingham== (詳細はGoosnargh. Goosnargh is unusual because only one side of one road in the village lies within the parish boundaries of Goosnargh; almost all of the village lies within Whittingham parish. This may explain why the village is sometimes referred to as "Goosnargh and Whittingham", as if there were two villages. Some road signs on entering the village display "Whittingham and Goosnargh". The website of the local "Goosnargh & Whittingham Whitsuntide Festival" refers to "the twin villages of Goosnargh and Whittingham".〔(Goosnargh & Whittingham Whitsuntide Festival: 2008 Festival ), accessed 5 November 2007〕 An article in a local newspaper also refers to "the villages of Whittingham and Goosnargh".〔("Sports association up off the blocks" ), ''Longridge News'', 3 May 2007, accessed online 6 November 2007〕 However, no modern maps show a village marked "Whittingham" and the website of Whittingham Parish Council〔(Lancashire Parish Portal: Whittingham Parish Council ), accessed 5 November 2007〕 refers only to the village of Goosnargh. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whittingham, Lancashire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
