Audley End House, at Audley End, was used, during the war, as a base for the Special Operations Executive. The SOE initially used the house as a general holding camp before using it for the Polish branch of the SOE.
Another big House to be used as a base by the SOE was at Beaulieu, in Hampshire.

Weybridge also has a motor museum at Brooklands.

 

[Welshman]

Weybridge is situated on the River Wey, which goes nowhere near Weymouth.

Lyme Regis is also situated on the Jurassic Coast.

 

[Johnuk123]

Esher is the birthplace of the famous racing driver John Cobb who broke the world land speed record in 1939 at Bonneville in America.

He was killed on Loch Ness attempting to break the world water speed record in 1952.

As I'm sure everybody knows the harbour wall at Lyme Regis is also called the Cobb.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Stoke D'Abernon also was part of the Saxon administrative district of Elmbridge Hundred.

 

[Johnuk123]

Cobham was another place within the Hundred of Elmbridge.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Nant-y-Gro near to Rhayader was also a testing place for the Barnes Wallis designed "bouncing bomb"....as was Silvermere Lake at Cobham.

As also was the Derwent reservoir in the northern Peak District.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Irlam is also on the line of the Manchester Ship Canal

So does everywhere else! We can't reasonably accept a response like that (sorry )...

Linking both Derwent and Irlam:

Hove's name also has precisely two vowels in it.

Agreed, not even if the person making the posting is PORMINENT..


Southwold also has examples of artifacts made from amber that were discovered in the area of the town.

 

[Ivo]

Change the "wol" to "en" and you get Southend.

Of course, I mean the one near Campbeltown. Where were you thinking of?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exmouth also developed as a seaside resort in Georgian times.

The SOUTHWOLD is the one in Suffolk....and very nice it is too..

 

[Ivo]

I think you misinterpreted my post. Southend in Argyll & Bute isn't a Georgian tourist resort

I trust that this wasn't a porminent mistake? If it was - call 999.

 

[LE Greys]

Dartmouth can also be reached by ferry from a former GWR station (Kingswear rather than Starcross)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kingswear is the settlement where the other medieval castle was built to protect and guard the mouth of the Dart estuary.

Will it therefore not have its very own Thorpe Bay, if that is the case....:cry:

 

[Johnuk123]

Removed

 

[Ivo]

Not trying to be harsh, but we still haven't had a change to the previous confusion. Since Exmouth was not a valid link, we are still on Southend (Argyll & Bute).

Sorry

Huntly also has a Church of Scotland.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.......:cry:

Rosehearty in Aberdeenshire also has a ruined castle (Pitsligo Castle).

 

[Johnuk123]

St. Combs is another place with a football team in The North East Scotland Football League.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Avebury in Wiltshire also has prehistoric long barrow tumuli.

 

[Johnuk123]

Portmerion has also featured in a t.v show.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hornsey in the East Riding of Yorkshire also gave its name to a brand of pottery.....of which we have many examples at home in a display case.

 

[Ivo]

Hornsey oop north is not to be confused with a certain other Hornsey oop north - or, at least, what someone from Peckham would consider to be oop north - that in North London.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.......:cry:

 

[Welshman]

Paul Eddington was born in Hornsey, North London. One of his remembered roles was playing Jerry Leadbetter in "The Good Life" which was set in Surbiton.

By the way, I always thought the town and pottery oop in't proper North was Hornsea ee ba gum!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brighton also has art-deco court-style blocks of housing within its environs.

Robert Mugabe has a most unfortunate surname, which, when reversed, harkens back to the Yorkshire patois
