Stalybridge was connected by horse-drawn trams in 1881, and by electric tram from 1903.

Those wishing to admire Rossall School could travel along the A587 or on the tramway to Fleetwood or Blackpool. There is also a tramway to found in LLandudno - rope hauled trams rather than electric

Keir Hardie spent much of his life in Cumnock and is burried in the cemetery there. A statue to him stands outside the Town Hall.

A memorial to one of the great founding fathers of the Labour Party also stands outside the council offices in Aberdare, in the midst of the Merthyr Tydfil and Abderdare constituency he represented.

Silly I know but Aberdare made me think of Aba Daba Doo from The Fintstones which made me think of Flintshire and the so to the town of Flint

Well that my association:)

The Glasson Branch of the Lancaster Canal was designed by noted Scottish civil engineer John Rennie. He was also responsible for some of the docks at Kingston-upon-Hull.
