Holy Hell. I’m moving to Argleton!
Please leave Argleton on the map.
After all, I would hate to lose my Fraccy neighbour & someone else move into her house! What would I do then?
Thanks
<3 ya
[...] en hier vind je meer informatie over het spookstadje. Dus. Update via Retecool: inmiddels is er een actiegroep om de stad van de ondergang te redden en er zijn ook al reisverslagen naar Argleton te vinden op [...]
what ever next if you surf a wee bit south east of here is where I live… blimey it could be my homestead next .. arghhhh
Mark – It’s exactly what I thought. The perfect solution!
gottabkd – Thanks. Those google map folks need to think twice about this.
Google spookstad – Yay… a real link at a foreign language blog.
70steen – They’d better not wipe you off the map sis… but if they try, we’ll fight ‘em together!
We need to save Argleton,
I have a PO box there
[...] Edge Hill University are the modern-day Marco Polos who unconcealed it, and there is today a “save Argleton” crusade on the scheme which is urging Google not to precise the [...]
My quiet little fiefdom is in danger of being overrun! We have a strict immigration policy, and if you don’t meet those criteria you can expect to be glared at with suspicion and a hush to fall over any room you enter. At least National Grid aren’t trying to hoist dirty great pylons over it this time.
I left my heart in Arglton,
it’s sweping fields,
Are where my soul has gone,
To lie beneath it’s lofty trees.
Argleton, town of dreams,
From it’s marching bands
to it’s football teams
These are the people of the land.
Listen not when Google declare,
This town of towns
Is simply not there
Arglteon is in our hearts and minds
Even if not in postcode L39
Dusty – That would be tragic for sure! How would I ever send you that jam I’ve been such a deadbeat about?
We-found-it – Yay… bring on the troops. A pingback from someone who found our little campaign!
Jon Argles – I’m quite sure we’re the kind of folks you want to allow into your little fiefdom. We love to promote boobs, gingernuts and nonsense, and we even have some avid tea-drinkers. Some of us are happy to be kept in sheds or cupboards… we’re hardly a bother. Why, you might actually consider nominating one or two of us for citizen of the year.
Argletonian – Brought a tear to mine eye. I must introduce you to a fellow poet. I’m sure you’ll get along famously.

Hi there,
my name is Friedrich and Argelton is the English twin city of my German hometown.
Please save Argleton!!!!
Friedrich

My Argleton is my castle!!!
In case you get tired of life in Argleton, UK, you can always move to Bielefeld, Germany. That doesn’t exist, either.

Friedrich – Thank you for stopping to add yours to the campaign!
Nadja – In numbers, there is strength! Thanks for sharing the link, I’ll check it out too!
Hanni – I’d like to visit someday.
Schamansky – Really? I must check it out. I will remember that. Perhaps I could have a summer home in Bielefeld?
Hey, i am from Bielefeld, Germany.
It does exist, just like Argleton.
@Fabian – Ok now really have to get over there to see for myself… you folks are making this interesting!
Argleton is a thriving village in West Central Lancashire. It must not be destroyed.

John, how might I go about being awarded the prestigious Order of the Ferret (OF)?
Just asking. Glad to see it’s been years since the ferret foot rot debacle.
I’m saving for another trip over… hope to see you soon.
has anyone already suggested simply to found a real village at that place and calling it Argleton? That sure would help keeping it on Google Maps.
I think some folks have thought of that. For now, the Argleton currently on the map suits my needs a tad better.

I can see Argleton from my bedroom window. I am hoping it turns out to be West Lancashire’s answer to Brigadoon, and that one day I will wake up to find kilted Scots-people dancing round the market cross, singing about bonny Jean’s weddin’ day. You never know!
Really? From your bedroom window? Oh, how I envy you!
