Enniskillen also featured as an episode on the recent BBC2 documentary series Town with Nicholas Crane.

Knighton on the English/Welsh border also has a name that is similar to something one might associate with the Middle Ages and other such periods of history.

(Armagh ~ armour)

Wick is one of the northernmost towns in the UK to be served by Stagecoach buses. At the other end of the spectrum, Brixham is one of the furthest south.

Amazingly enough, the 82 (Thurso to Wick) starts its daily service before 0600, and the last journey doesn't start until after midnight. And the first of these two unlikely facts is true even on Sundays!

Leicester is another settlement that has its name given to a breed of sheep.

Baa.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England

If you had put this on the Station Codes quiz, I would have responded with Barnham.

Coffinswell was another part of the medieval administrative Haytor Hundred.

Bonhams Auctioneers also have an office in Oxford.

Has something occurred upon this thread or I am dreaming. I was sure that someone made a posting of Brookwood (of Necropolis fame) in response to that of Southport to which I assumed that I had made a posting of Madingley also having an American military cemetery.....:shock:

My posting was of Brookwood, but incorrectly in response to an earlier posting - I realised, changed my post to a "Hang on a minute, I'm being an idiot" or similar whilst I researched a proper link from Southport. Apologies.

Greenhithe is linked to those temples of consumerism at Lakeside and Bluewater by the hourly X80 bus service.

This service starts at Chafford Hundred.

Trowbridge is also in a Unitary Authority area that doesn't have any especially large settlements in it.

And yes, Wiltshire is a Unitary Authority, before anyone asks.


Sorry - I posted something, realised it was wrong and changed it. But "p2 on its own was too short so I added a few characters. I didn't expect anyone to see it...
