... aha!! Mallaig. Mall and AIG

No. This is not the one. AIG is a provider of cover and that does not fit the clue.

A clearing, where two rivers meet [OE]

A clearing, where two rivers meet [OE]

At a guess I would say Milford Haven.

Its Welsh name - Aberdaugleddau - translates as "Mouth of the two Rivers Cleddau" - which answers the bit about two rivers meeting - and a haven could be a clearing.

[Welshman]

Good try.

I like your "Two Rivers Cleddau" but a "haven" initially presumes a natural harbour rather than a clearing as such, although, of course, the harbour would be in a clearing.

This station is in England, and the "OE" in parenthesis stands for "Old-English"

Is it Mytholmroyd

I know Royd means clearing but not sure of the first bit

 

[Welshman]

It is Mytholmroyd.
