Kerr Lake?

I've gone through all the lochs and meres I can think of, is it a National Rail station?

 

[InkyScrolls]

It is a national rail station. Hint: Canada Water was close, both geographically and conceptually.

Virginia Water (Virginia Kerr - Irish Soprano, apparently)

 

[InkyScrolls]

You've got it - though not for the reason I was thinking of! Kerr Lake is the largest reservoir in Virginia, hence 'Virginia Water'. Over to you.

I don't want to monopolise the thread so open floor...

Try this one

Fruit goes to South Yorkshire village.

Isn't t there a pear or plum (or something) variety named Fitzwilliam?

 

[RDP]

Not there.

 

[John Griffiths]

Shipley? The hip being the fruit of a rose, contained by the letters SY for South Yorkshire, and two extra letters that we won't bother about for the moment.

[RDP]

Moreton (more tone)?

 

[John Griffiths]

You've cracked it (draw back = ward, allows in an anagram of folly = wa llyfo rd), your turn...
