Settlement Association

[Welshman]

As Nottingham is the home of John Harvey's Inspector Charlie Resnick, so is Edinburgh the base of Ian Rankin's John Rebus.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Dumfries is another settlement in Scotland with a Camera Obscura

 

[Trainfan344]

Scotland has 32 unitary councils, one of which is called Dumfries and Galloway

 

[Ensign Elliott]

George Galloway is MP for Bradford West

 

[Ivo]

I'm not aware of a town called Galloway? Isn't it an area rather than a settlement?

Sorry

I will have to go back to Dumfries, but to be fair to the new guy I will choose something that matches Bradford as well...

...which is that Newhaven also has eight letters in its name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Holyhead also has ferry services to another EEC country.

 

[LE Greys]

Cowes is also on a separate island from Great Britain

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leigh-on-Sea also hosts a regatta.

 

[Ivo]

Frimley is also served by a bus service numbered 1. The difference is that Frimley's service is reliable (*cough*) and high quality

 

[Welshman]

Kirkburton [West Yorkshire]

also had a pyschiatric hospital/lunatic asylum [Storthes Hall, Kirkburton - now given over to student accommodation for Huddersfield University].

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Croydon also had medieval links to the leather tanning trade.

 

[Ivo]

Plymouth also had an operational airport in the past (if admittedly the far more recent past).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Radlett is another settlement where the remains of Roman pottery have been excavated.

 

[Ivo]

Swanley is also just inside the M25.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pershore was also where a horticultural college was established.

 

[Welshman]

Selby

also has an abbey.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

West Haddlesey lies at the other end of the Selby Canal

 

[Harlesden]

West Haddlesey like Wilmslow holds an annual Scarecrow festival

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Macclesfield also lies on the line of the River Bollin.

 

[Welshman]

The notorious "Cat & Fiddle" road links Macclesfield with Buxton.

 

[Harlesden]

Are duplicate names permitted?
I was thinking about a drive from Buxton (Derbyshire), mainly along the A17 to Buxton (Norfolk)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Are duplicate names permitted?

Of course they are, when used in creative comparisons....

Alverstoke in Hampshire was also a settlement where a "House of Industry" was once established.

 

[Ivo]

St Ives (the one not on the coast) is also within close proximity of a certain form of transport that is often, and usually justifiably, criticised on this forum.

Apparently its name comes from a chap named Saint Ivo

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

When I first heard the conundrum about St Ives, I thought that Polygamy was practised there....


Godmanchester also lies on the line of the River Great Ouse.

 

[Ivo]

Kelvedon was also built on the site of a Roman town.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Reading also has historical links to commercial seed growing.

 

[Deerfold]

Dorking also appears at first glance to be a verb but actually refers to a clan that lived in the area.

 

[Ivo]

Newhaven is another small town that has three railway stations.

OK, so one of them is never actually used, but it is still technically open...

 

[Welshman]

There is also a SSSI in Elland, W.Yorkshire [bypass cutting]

 

[Ivo]

A rather well known landmark with Elland in its name exists in nearby Leeds.
