Redruth in Cornwall also has historical connections to copper mining.

 

[Calthrop]

Barnsley, South Yorkshire, also has a martial arts academy.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fatfield in County Durham was also the scene of a colliery disaster.

 

[Calthrop]

The geophysicist Sir Harold Jeffreys, FRS (1891 -- 1989) was born in Fatfield. He spent the majority of his life pursuing his distinguished academic career -- in which he made significant contributions to mathematics and statistics -- in Cambridge, at the University thereof; Cambridge was where he died.

Oxford also has a noted university.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bolton in Greater Manchester also has an elephant as a symbol in its coat of arms.

 

[D6130]

Bolton Town Hall was designed by Leeds architect William Hill - a pupil of the more famous Cuthbert Broderick - and opened in 1873. A few years later, the same architect built Portsmouth Town Hall - now the Guildhall - to an almost identical design. Unfortunately the latter was heavily-modified by the Luftwaffe in 1941 and now looks somewhat less similar to its older sister in Bolton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Liverpool also has both an Anglican and a Roman Catholic cathedral.

"And if you want a cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home"
(The Spinners)

 

[Calthrop]

Stretching things a bit, maybe: Leicester is also traditionally associated with a mythical creature. With Liverpool it is, of course, the Liver Bird; whereas as from many centuries back, the crest of the Borough of Leicester has been a wyvern (dragon-like beastie).

 

[John Griffiths]

Stamford in Lincolnshire was also one of the Five Boroughs - the major settlements of the Danelaw.

 

[Calthrop]

Hereford also has a namesake settlement in the US State of Texas.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Symonds Yat in Herefordshire also lies on the line of the River Wye.

 

[John Griffiths]

Normanton on Soar, Notts, also has a chain ferry.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thorpe in the Glebe in Nottinghamshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Loughborough Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Normanton on Soar is the second-most-southerly settlement in Nottinghamshire. The county's southernmost is Stanford on Soar, not quite two miles east of Normanton.

 

[Calthrop]

Thorpe in the Glebe in Nottinghamshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Loughborough Poor Law Union.

Per Wiki, Thorpe in the Glebe is a "lost and abandoned" village -- hasn't existed since the 15th century. However: "details, details" -- Britain has many such ex-settlements. Another was Dengemarsh, a little way south of Lydd, Kent: the village ceased to be, owing to the World War II opening of Lydd firing ranges.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

New Romney in Kent was also once administered by the Hundred of Romney Marsh.

 

[Calthrop]

Pevensey, East Sussex, also lies on the A259 road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Watford in Hertfordshire also has a church that is dedicated to the Holy Rood.

 

[D6130]

Blisworth in Northamptonshire is also situated on the line of the Grand Union Canal.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yardley Hastings in Northamptonshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Wymersley.

 

[Calthrop]

Bretford, Warwickshire -- between Coventry and Rugby -- also lies on the A428 road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wolston in Warwickshire also lies on the line of the River Avon.

 

[John Griffiths]

Broad Chalke in Wiltshire also has a pub called The Queen's Head.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fifield Bavant in Wiltshire also lies on the line of the River Ebble.

 

[John Griffiths]

Byker in Newcastle upon Tyne also has a church dedicated to St Martin.

 

[Calthrop]

Byker's name is reckoned to be derived from the Old Norse kjarr = "marsh"; prefixed by either Old Norse byr = "farmstead", or Old English bi = "by, near". The first syllable of the name of Carrbridge, Highland -- six miles north of Aviemore -- is figured also likely to come from the O.N. kjarr.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wycoller in Lancashire also has a packhorse bridge.

 

[Calthrop]

Wycoller lies on the Bronte Way long(-ish)-distance footpath, running through locations associated with the "authoring" Bronte sisters. The Bronte Way's western terminal point is at Padiham, Lancashire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Altham in Lancashire also lies on the line of the River Calder.
