Newton Solney, Derbyshire -- two miles south-west of Repton -- also lies on the B5008 road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Coton in the Elms in Derbyshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Burton upon Trent Poor Law Union.

 

[John Griffiths]

Coton in the Elms lies on the salters' route known as the Walton Way, which starts in nearby Walton on Trent - but where it leads to, Professor Wiki kept his own counsel.

 

[High Dyke]

Colthrop Lane, Thatcham, West Berkshire also has an example of a bailey bridge.

 

[clickaway]

Thatcham had a so-called Blue Coat School, being funded by charity and having uniforms of that colour. There were several in Britain and another closed example was in Northampton.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gloucester also has a Guildhall.

 

[D6130]

Gloucester Cathedral is one of the three that take part in the annual Three Choirs Festival. The other two are Worcester and Hereford.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Symonds Yat in the border area of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire also lies on the line of the River Wye.

 

[Calthrop]

Punning names for pubs -- Symonds Yat has one called the Wye Knot Inn. Holmfirth, Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire: has the Stumble Inn.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Halifax in West Yorkshire also has a choral society.

Massachusetts also has a Halifax, but West Yorkshire is represented in that state by Wakefield too.

 

[High Dyke]

St. Ives, Cambridgeshire also has a bridge incorporating a chapel into the structure.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Buckingham in Buckinghamshire also lies on the line of the River Great Ouse.

 

[Calthrop]

The Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, Merseyside, is also twinned with a settlement in the German State of Nordrhein-Westfalen. Knowsley's "twin" is Moers; Buckingham's is Neukirchen-Vluyn (incidentally, both B. and N-V. are also twinned [tripletted?] with Mouvaux, France -- part of the Lille conurbation).

Horsham in West Sussex also has a safari park.

 

[Calthrop]

Coleraine, Co. [London]Derry, also has a namesake settlement in the far west of the Australian State of Victoria.

Horsham in West Sussex also has a safari park.

Do you mean Knepp within Horsham borough? That's by the village of Dial Post and whilst they offer 'safaris', I would not describe it as a safari park.

Do you mean Knepp within Horsham borough? That's by the village of Dial Post and whilst they offer 'safaris', I would not describe it as a safari park.

Wikipedia with whom I checked "Safari Parks in the UK" show Knepp as being amongst the top ten UK safari parks.

 

[OxtedL]

The Horsham link doesn't seem to be false in any way that couldn't be easily fixed (maybe with a 2 hour debate in the middle) so I think we can continue, now from Coleraine.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thanks for the adjudication.....

Castlerock in County Londonderry also forms part of the 2015-created Causeway Coast and Glens local Government district.

 

[Calthrop]

C.S. Lewis (1898 -- 1963) -- scholar, author, and "Christian apologist" -- born in Northern Ireland -- was fond of Castlerock, where he spent many holidays. The once-stately mansion, now a ruin, Downhill House just outside Castlerock: furnished inspiration to him for some elements of his "Narnia" children's stories. Lewis is buried at Headington (eastern suburb of Oxford).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chippinghurst in Oxfordshire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Headington Poor Law Union.

 

[John Griffiths]

The Manor House at Chippinghurst was in the 1930s occupied by James McDougall, of the flour milling dynasty, whose first mill opened in the 1870s at Millwall in London

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Castleton in Derbyshire also has a church that is dedicated to St Edmund.

 

[High Dyke]

Halkyn in Flintshire, north-east Wales is also associated with lead mining.

 

[Calthrop]

Halkyn's seemingly only son of any degree of fame in the records: is Dan Jones (1810 -- 62). Jones emigrated to the USA in 1840, and was converted there to the new Mormon faith. He spent periods of the 1840s and '50s back in Wales, as a Mormon missionary; and oversaw the translation into Welsh, of the Book of Mormon (it would seem that most of the work was done by one John S. Davis). The first Mormon missionaries from the US to Britain, arrived in G.B. in 1837: their evangelising campaign began, it seems, in Preston, Lancashire.

 

[D6130]

Hartlepool also has a grade 2-listed bus station.

 

[Calthrop]

The German State of Nordrhein-Westfalen again, I fear -- only fourteen posts after its last mention by me. Anyway: Bangor, Gwynedd, is also twinned with a settlement in that State. Hartlepool's "twin" is Hueckelhoven; Bangor's is Soest.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Clynnog Fawr in Caernarvonshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Uwch Gwyrfai.

 

[Calthrop]

Clynnog Fawr in Caernarvonshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Uwch Gwyrfai.

The "Clynnog" part of the name means in Welsh, "place of the holly trees". That member of the vegetable kingdom also features -- seemingly, at any rate -- in the name of Hollybush, Worcestershire: three-to-four miles east of Ledbury.
