[I'm going to assume you meant the Grangetown in North Yorkshire, as opposed to the one in Cardiff].

The area around Waltham-on-the-Wolds was also rich in ironstone, and still has the remains of some ironstone railways.

Uppingham is Near to the Eyebrook Reservoir and Consett is near to the Derwent Reservoir Both Reservoirs were used by 617 (Dambusters) Squadron as practice for Operation Chastise (the Dams Raid).

I have sent a PM to you...was it not the Derwent reservoir in the Longdendale Valley, not far from Glossop that was the location.

Lewes, like Uppingham, had a Norman motte-and-bailey castle.

Chichester is the county town (or city in this case) in the other half of Sussex, and like Lewes it is some distance from being the largest settlement in the county, even if you ignore Brighton & Hove.

Uh, actually, I meant the one in Cardiff. I didn't even realise there was another one. But, seeing as you all have continued anyway, it would be easier to just play along than act like the tough dictator.

Ignoring both the Cathedral and the Ship Canal connectional options that have now been used twice with regards to Chichester......

Dorking also lies on the line of the Roman road called Stane Street.

Down Ampney was the birthplace of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams but he spent most of his life in Dorking.

red cars are more commonly associated with Italy; British manufacturers tended towards Green. One of the few remaining British car manufacturers is Morgan, who are based at Malvern, Worcestershire.

Not to be confused with Castleton in Greater Manchester, which used to be the junction for the line to Bury & Bolton, which is now partly adapted by a Heritage Railway.

Todmorden, along with Hebden Bridge, were affected by flash floods last Friday night.

Dumpsville-on-Sea (also known as Weston-super-Mare) is another notable seaside destination that lacks a fully functioning bus station.

Rotherham is also served by First Group buses.

I must apologise if my previous post on this thread caused any confusion, this was my mistake, which Paul very kindly corrected. Thank you Paul :)
