Settlement Association

[Welshman]

Cockermouth

William Wordsworth, born in Cockermouth, was inspired by a visit to Tintern, and wrote Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey in 1798.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Arundel was another settlement chosen by the Normans to erect one of their castles.

 

[Ivo]

Arundel is one of the towns used as a second home by Sussex County Cricket Club. The club's main ground is in Hove, close to Palmeira Square.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chavenage Green in Gloucestershire was also the site where a fine example of a late Neolithic period round barrow was situated. Unfortunately, before regulations to preserve such historic features were enacted, this area was ploughed.

 

[Welshman]

Long Whatton

also has a country house, open to the public at certain times.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hesketh-with-Becconsall in Lancashire also has a church called All Saints, that had amendments carried out by the architects Austin and Paley of Lancaster.

 

[Ivo]

Scarisbrick is another small location in close proximity to Southport.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Meathop and Ulpha in the South Lakeland coastal district of Cumbria also has a polder-type area (as often seen in the Netherlands) that has been reclaimed from the original localised salt marshes.

 

[Temple Meads]

Breadstone (Gloucs.) also has a slightly humorous food related name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Willesley in Leicestershire also has an equine veterinary centre

 

[Ivo]

Willesden, because its first syllable is the same (both alphabetically and phonetically) and because I'm too tired to do something better.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Walsingham is another recorded place in England where in medieval times, a statue of a Black Madonna would have been found in a religious environment.


I have just been reading a treatise upon this particular subject.

Wroxham is also the southern terminus of a narrow gauge railway

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Potter Heigham is also an important boating centre on the Norfolk Broads.

 

[Ivo]

Caister-on-Sea is also on the A149.

 

[Trainfan344]

Frinton-on-Sea is also a seaside town in east anglia with on-Sea in it's name

 

[Ivo]

Less than ten miles down the coast is Jaywick. Its association with Frinton is alarming: Frinton is affluent; Jaywick, well...

 

[Trainfan344]

Rochdale also features on that list.

 

[Ivo]

Rochdale will soon have a tram service through its town centre. The same service will also run through Oldham's town centre (it already serves the periphery).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bolton was another Lancashire cotton spinnng town with many mills.

 

[Ivo]

Stockport is another GM area that pushed for City Status this year (and failed).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Luton also has connections to the hat-making industry.

 

[Trainfan344]

Manchester also gives it name to a International Airport

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Endellion also had a collegiate church.

 

[Ivo]

St Erth is another location that the average etymologist (assuming that is even a word) might reasonably and correctly assume is in Cornwall.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Austell has another Cornish SSSI site

 

[Welshman]

Woolfardsiworthy

St Austell is abbreviated by the inhabitants to Snozzle.
Woolfardisworthy in N Devon is known locally as Woolsery.

llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is also a village with a rather long name....

 

[Ivo]

Queensbury in London also has a name that was "skewed" by the railway

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

....and not to be confused with Queensbury in West Yorkshire.
