Minehead is also on the line of the South West Coast Path.

St Helens is the only other notable settlement on Merseyside that gives its name to a Metropolitan Borough.

Sefton is a village, Wirral is a peninsula and I have no idea where Knowsley comes from!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I have no idea where Knowsley comes from!

It was launched as a borough on April Fool's Day in 1974...believe it or not..

Rotherham also has connections to the glass making industry.

 

[Welshman]

Apparently, William Hague grew-up in Rotherham.

He is now MP for Richmond, Yorkshire.

 

[Ivo]

Supposedly, Richmond is the inspiration for more non-UK settlement names than any other town or city in England.

A far more prominent settlement (city) whose name has been duplicated repeatedly in the same way is Bristol.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

London also has a historical docks complex.

 

[LE Greys]

Douglas is also a capital (although I haven't checked to rules to see if the Isle of Man is legitimate territory)

 

[Ivo]

It isn't - England, Scotland and Wales only. Sorry!

From London: Peterborough is home to a stadium named London Road.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ely is also a Cathedral City

 

[Ivo]

The letters in Ely can be rearranged to form the Birmingham suburb of Lye.

 

[Welshman]

Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, also has a thriving Anglican Evangelical Church with the dedication of "Christ Church"

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Croft, in Leicestershire is also on the line of the River Soar.

Charfield, near Yate, is another station-less settlement that sits on a railway line served by CrossCountry.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Knutsford also has a Land Rover dealership....(Guy Salmon)

 

[Deerfold]

The Tatton Estate owns a lot of property in Knutsford.

And in the model village of Bostock Green

 

[Trainfan344]

Merrivale Model Village is in Great Yarmouth

 

[12CSVT]

Whitby is also known for its excellent fish & chips

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whalley also has the ruins of an abbey, that are open to the public to visit.

 

[Welshman]

7th c. Paulinus preached at Whalley during the Gregorian Mission. He later became the first bishop of York.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Canterbury also has an Archbishop.

 

[Welshman]

Rievaulx

also has the ruins of an ancient abbey.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tintern in Monmouthshire also had an abbey that was built by the Cistercian order.

I trust that this is an acceptable posting, as my connection is with that of the Cistercian order...rather than that of the abbey.
