Settlement Association

[Ivo]

Kendal is another well-known but relatively small Primary Destination on the A6.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eccles also gives its name to an edible foodstuff.

 

[Welshman]

So does Stilton

despite the fact the cheese was originally made in Quenby Hall near Melton Mowbray, and put on to the coaches/sold at the coaching inns in Stilton.

 

[Clip]

The Wensleydale railway runs to Leeming Bar

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Jedburgh also lies on the line of the Roman road called Dere Street.

 

[Schnellzug]

Several notable people were born in Jedward, including Mary Somerville (1780–1872), the eminent scientist and writer, after whom Somerville College, Oxford is named.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I note your play on words with the title of the last named settlement that you used to make a comparison with Oxford

Durham also suffered attacks by the Normans in the time just after the Norman invasion of 1066.

 

[LE Greys]

Canterbury also has a cathedral associated with an English saint (Cuthbert in Durham, Thomas Beckett in Canterbury)

 

[cuccir]

Just discovered this thread, like the game.

Graduates from the University of Cambridge can put 'Cantab' after the name and this is not to be confused with the above city in Kent!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Winchester was also settled by the Iron Age tribe called the Belgae prior to the Roman invasion of Britain.

 

[Clip]

Winchester was the name of the pub in Minder whose actor Dennis Waterman was born in Clapham.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chichester is also on the line of the Roman military road known as Stane Street

 

[cuccir]

Auchtermuchty is one of the few other towns in the UK to include the 'ch' digraph twice, without including the word 'church'!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dundee also has a historical link to the Linen Industry.

 

[Clip]

Dundee is twinned with Würzburg who are also twinned with a city in the USA called Rochester of which we also havea town named so

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sheerness was also attacked by the Dutch fleet during the Second Anglo-Dutch War.

 

[Clip]

Westgate(thanet) also has the suffix 'On-Sea' as part of its name

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Upavon in Wiltshire was also a very early schooling base for the Royal Naval Air Service

 

[Clip]

The local primary school is no more in Upavon and the nearest on is in Rushall

 

[cuccir]

The football team in Rushall is known as Rushall Olympic, which much surely lead us to Stratford (London).

 

[Welshman]

Not to be confused with Stratford-upon-Avon, where, as far as I know, no Olympic Events are being held.

 

[Schnellzug]

the Avon that Stratford is on is not the same as the one that Bradford on Avon is on.

 

[Welshman]

Nor is the Bradford in Yorkshire the one on the Avon!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gloucester was also garrisoned by Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War.

 

[Temple Meads]

Halifax is also a building society (Gloucester being Cheltenham & Gloucester)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

York also possesses a minster.

 

[Welshman]

So does Dewsbury

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sowerby Bridge was also served by the Calder and Hebble Navigation.

 

[Ivo]

Another famous location by the name of _______ Bridge in the Calderdale area of West Yorkshire is Hebden Bridge.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Failsworth also lies on the line of the Rochdale Canal
