Skipton Castle is very much intact and very definitely not ruined!
Godmanchester also sits astride Ermine Street

And Morpeth is in Northumberland - no connection with the last one, but and a damned big but, it is nearer 100 miles north of York than matters and is on the Great North Road, as is Edinburgh. So finishing in York is not quite right.

Great North Road - London to Edinburgh.......

I had meant to state the first set of stagecoach services using the Great North Road from London terminated at York but had only typed half my posting when I had to take a telephone call then just sent it on my return without completing the posting entry.

I will amend my posting accordingly. Consider me to be well and truly told-off for my ineptitude...:oops:

Morpeth is also in Northumberland

Ashington also lies on the line of the River Wansbeck.

Apology accepted, more care Timothy

You are to be highly commended on your knowledge of the close connection between St Paul and St Timothy in the very early first few years of the Christian Church.

Nantgarw is another location where several former British Rail locomotives have found further use under N.C.B. ownership.

Gresford church bells are one of the "Seven Wonders of Wales"
St Winefride's Well at Holywell is another.

P.S.
I remember the Apostle advised his protege to take a drop of wine for his stomach's sake - a most eminently sensible suggestion, I feel.

Somerton is on the River Cary, which has its source in Castle Cary [surprise, surprise!]
