Doe Lea also has a fine example of an Elizabethan mansion....Hardwick Hall

Not wanting to be picky but that Elizabethan Mansion is in the Lincolnshire Doddington, my Doddington was the Fenland one.

I am having a rather bad afternoon of things today. It does help if the name of the county...rather than an area...is named when there are more than one settlement with the same name involved.

I shall "strike-through" my posting.

I shall "strike-through" my posting in order that someone else can respond to your posting of Doddington

You're probably quite right, my Doddington is in the Fenland county council area but Cambridgeshire is it's county.

Might as well keep matters moving, on second thoughts...

Altrincham also has a clock tower.

 

[Johnuk123]

Martock is the resting place of Sir Michael Patrick Pollock the ex-1st. Sea Lord who was born in Altrincham.

 

[Welshman]

Swineshead [Lincolnshire]

another village whose Parish Church is a magnificent Grade 1-listed building, far too big for today's needs and an impossible strain on its small congregation to maintain.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whalley (in Lancashire) is another settlement where a Cistercian abbey was built.

 

[Welshman]

Elland
is a town on the Yorkshire Calder [as opposed to Whalley on the Lancashire Calder]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Agecroft is another settlement where a coal-fired power station was constructed...not surprising as there was a nearby colliery.

 

[Deerfold]

You can also become a Brownie in Doddington (Fenland)

I bet I'd get some funny looks if I tried.

Back to Agecroft which appears to have little to commend it, so on a fairly boring note...

Ironbridge also had a rowing club.

 

[Class172]

Ironbridge and Worcester both have large metal bridges spanning the river Severn.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Goodwood is also situated on the line of the Monarch's Way long distance footpath.

 

[Welshman]

Sir Edward Elgar lived in and around the Worcester area for much of his life, and is now buried at Little Malvern.

Tish - that man's beaten me to it again!

The Monarch's Way clue leads me to conclude it's the Goodwood in West Sussex which now figures. Goodwood House was designed by James Wyatt, who also designed St Michael's Church, Ceredigion.

Is this the same St Michael's church in the hamlet of TREMAIN in the area of Ceredigon ?

I feel that Ceredigon is the name of the County Council....not a settlement as such.

Yes - it is!
It's the St.Michael's on the Hafod Uchfryd Estate, near Tremain, in Ceredigion.
Many apologies for the confusion.

I keep confusing the county of Ceredigion with the villiage of Cerrigydrudion in Denbighshire - as you do!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester also has a Grade II* listed building (Town Hall)

 

[Welshman]

The Manchester Ship Canal runs from Salford to Eastham Locks, Merseyside.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

New Holland has also lost its ferry crossing service.....albeit a good number of years after the monks stopped running the ferry at Eastham..

 

[Johnuk123]

Whitton is another place on the Humber estuary.

 

[Ivo]

Most people on this forum would have assumed you were referring to the Whitton near Twickenham without the detail that followed.

And yes, I am using that as an association.

 

[Deerfold]

There is also a restaurant called "Spice of India" in Bournemouth.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Southbourne also has a cliff funicular railway

 

[Ivo]

The A1158, a notable urban route through the western half of Southend, is formed of two nearby parallel roads which are largely one-way. One is called Southbourne Grove, the other is called Westbourne Grove. And as with the pair of roads, Southbourne is seemingly never far from Westbourne.

...now, my atlas declares that there are two places called Southbourne, and two places called Westbourne - and that each Southbourne has a Westbourne in close proximity! This clue links to whichever Southbourne Paul was referring to (I assume the one in Bournemouth).

There will not be all than many settlements called Southbourne that possess a cliff funicular railway....or cliffs for that matter...

Shanklin is another settlement where a chine may be found.

 

[deltic1989]

The ship's bell of HMS Eurydice (1843) is housed in St Paul's church in Shanklin.
This ship was built in Portsmouth Dockyard.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lymington also has ferry services to the Isle of Wight.

 

[Deerfold]

Addingham is also home to a film society.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Port William in Wigtownshire is another settlement where Bronze Age Cup and Ring marked rocks have been discovered within its environs.

 

[Johnuk123]

Bempton is also a good vantage point for Gannet spotting.
