Finchley Central was the title of a song by the New Vaudeville Band in the 60s, which also mentioned Golders Green (on the Northern Line).

Stockport County's nickname is the Hatters, as opposed to the other end of the body represented by Northampton's Cobblers.

The Settlement Association Quiz!

This works in exactly the same manner as the Station Association Quiz, only this thread concentrates on the thousands of inhabited locales throughout Great Britain and Northern Ireland instead of their railway stations

As such, a small request has been made in the Station Association Quiz to keep everything in that thread railway-related from here on.

Just a reminder of the rules, in case they are not known.

Conwy also has a station that was reopened having previously had a different name.

Skipton also has a ruined castle.

Rochdale is also the hometown of a Goodie.
Areas of Westminster were also decreed UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1987.*

*These were the Abbey and Westminster Palace.

Cockermouth is where William Wordsworth was brought up. He wrote "On Westminster Bridge".
