Southbourne sounds as if it ought to be, but is in fact not, south of Eastbourne, which is in fact miles away.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leeds also possesses a Grade I listed building....its magnificent town hall.

 

[Welshman]

Nottingham

also has a Roman Catholic Cathedral but not an Anglican one.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Salford also shares that similarity.

 

[Johnuk123]

Motram in Longdendale had a house lived in by the artist L.S. Lowry who is most famous for his scenes of Salford and it's surroundings.

 

[Welshman]

Another of Mottram's famous former residents was Kathy Staff, who played Nora Batty in "Last of the Summer Wine" filmed in Holmfirth and the surrounding area.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brighton was another settlement at the fore of the very early days of British film making.

 

[Schnellzug]

Brighton, formerly known as Brighthelmstone, was popular with that much loved early 19th century advertisement for a hereditary monarchy, George Augustus Frederick the Prince Regent. Another seaside resort, once popular with his father, old Farmer George, was Weymouth, Dorset.

Lyme Regis is also a well-known settlement on the Jurassic Coast for fossil finds from the erosion of the cliffs

 

[Johnuk123]

Another of Mottram's famous former residents was Kathy Staff, who played Nora Batty in "Last of the Summer Wine" filmed in Holmfirth and the surrounding area.

Interestingly another "famous" resident was Doctor Harold Shipman.


To get back on topic :

ALRESFORD has a part of Lyme Regis station rebuilt on its preserved station on the Mid-Hants Railway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands also has very fine examples of Neolithic-period artifacts.


EDIT NOTE

This answer should have NOT been made as it is not an INHABITED settlement and the second word should have been spelt Brae...not Brea (which has now been amended to read orrectly)

 

[Johnuk123]

Skara Brea in the Orkney Islands also has very fine examples of Neolithic-period artifacts.

Wellow also has a Neolithic period site nearby this one being a burial chamber.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Marsden also has a well-constructed packhorse bridge.

 

[Johnuk123]

Stow of Wedale is another village with a packhorse bridge.

 

[Welshman]

Not to be confused with Stow on the Wold

[Not that anyone would, silly me!]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dorchester also had a very large Iron Age fort at Maiden Castle.

 

[Ivo]

Southampton was the basis of the name of the ceremonial county it is based in, much like Dorchester.

EDIT, in relation to the next one: I had intended for this to relate to those whose county names are not a clear-cut match, but failed to say this. D'oh!

 

[Schnellzug]

So, for that matter, was Northampton, which is also not far from a big House associated with the Royal family. (Broadlands and Althrop, respectively).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

York also had a medieval persecution and murder of the Jews in the post-Norman time period.

 

[Heinz57]

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Runcorn also has an iconic bridge.

 

[Ivo]

Skelmersdale is another North-Western town developed as part of the New Towns concept.

 

[Johnuk123]

Newtown - I.O.W the name says it all.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newtown - I.O.W the name says it all.

Ainsdale, near to Southport, also has part of its environs declared as a National Nature Reserve...its sand dunes being the area in question.

 

[Welshman]

Dunford Bridge

is also on the Trans Pennine Trail

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Aberfoyle is also visited by watersports enthusiasts.

 

[Johnuk123]

Dryburgh in the Scottish borders contains the grave of Sir Walter Scott in the abbey.

Scott helped to put Aberfoyle on the map as the area was featured in his novel

The Lady of the Lake.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stirling also erected an edifice in honour of William Wallace.

 

[Ivo]
