Mold in Flintshire also has a Crown Court.

I much prefer typing "Mold" rather than typing its Welsh name!!

 

[Calthrop]

Mold in Flintshire also has a Crown Court.

Caergwrle also lies on the River Alyn.

I much prefer typing "Mold" rather than typing its Welsh name!!

The Welsh version rather tickles me -- being yielded via deliberate English-style misreading/-pronunciation, the name "Widd-grug", which makes me think of some Anglo-Saxon worthy (perhaps I ought to grow up...).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bowithick in Cornwall also has a packhorse bridge.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Bowithick was the location of a First World War Prisoner of War Camp; the village of Prees Heath, Shropshire was the location of a similar camp during the Second World War.

Taking this as the last valid posting......

Hanmer in Clwyd also has a church that is dedicated to St Chad.

Just outside Hanmer is a body of water known as Hanmer Mere.
Another settlement with an eponymous mere is the Cheshire village of Great Budworth.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

St Mary and All Saints' Church, Great Budworth has, in the north chapel is an organ designed by Samuel Renn (1786 – 1845), which was installed in 1839. Many of his organs have been lost due to closure of churches; the best surviving of them is in St Philip's Church, Salford, which was installed in 1829.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bacup also lies on the line of the River Irwell.

 

[Calthrop]

Lyme Regis, Dorset, is also a favoured cinema / TV drama filming location.

 

[John Griffiths]

Eleanor Coade, who perfected the manufacture of artificial 'Coade stone', had a villa in Lyme but died in Camberwell, south London.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Walworth was also once administered by the Hundred of Brixton.

 

[Calthrop]

Knaresborough also used to have a zoo, now no more.

 

[johnnychips]

Matlock Bath also has a petrifying well.

 

[Calthrop]

Matlock Bath lies on the Derbyshire Derwent. Elvington, North Yorkshire, is situated on another River Derwent.

 

[John Griffiths]

Author Laurence Sterne lived for a short time in his youth in Elvington; he was born in 1713 in Clonmel, Co Tipperary

 

[Calthrop]

Leopardstown just south of Dublin, is another Irish horse-racing venue of note.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wexford was also the site of a medieval leper hospital.

 

[Calthrop]

Caerlaverock (Dumfries & Galloway) also has a nature reserve, of great importance for wintering waterfowl.

 

[John Griffiths]

Rushton, Northamptonshire, also boasts a historic building triangular in plan.

 

[Calthrop]

Rushton has a pub called the Thornhill Arms; Calverley (City of Leeds metropolitan borough) has one called the Thornhill.

 

[Springs Branch]

Calverley is within the Parliamentary Constituency of Pudsey, currently represented by Conservative M.P. Stuart Andrew.
Before becoming the M.P. for Pudsey, Andrew stood unsuccessfully as a candidate for Wrexham.

 

[John Griffiths]

Wrexham had until recently an early lager brewery - but not the earliest, which according to beer blogger Zythophile was the Austrian-Bavarian Lager Beer Brewery and Cystal Ice Co. of Tottenham, north London, a place to which I seem irresistibly drawn on these pages despite never having been there in the flesh.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lincoln also lies on the route of the Roman road known as Ermine Street.

 

[John Griffiths]

The University of Lincoln was established in 1992 as the University of Humberside, when its main campus was in Hull. It subsequently became a the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside (1996), and then in 2001 the University of Lincoln, though the main campus in that city did not open until 2002.

 

[Calthrop]

An association harking back rather to the past -- with public telephone boxes being essentially, nowadays, on the way out; but "at the time of posting", the situation still obtains to some extent. Public phone boxes in Hull are painted not the standard red; but cream (Hull uniquely had, until 2007, an independent municipal phone provider). Phone boxes in St. Peter Port, Guernsey (and the rest of the island), are also a unique and anomalous colour: yellow.

 

[341o2]

Tresco,, Isles of Scilly, has two landing places, New Grimsby and Old Grimsby

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aberdeen also has a church that is dedicated to St Nicholas.

 

[Calthrop]

The people of Cork are also victims of a hoary old libel cherished and voiced by those who dwell elsewhere in the respective countries; to the effect of their being highly grasping, pathological "economisers".
