Ooh my local town got a mention!

Bowness on Solway is also at the end of Hadrian's Wall.

Branton in South Yorkshire is home of the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which has had a lot more positive reviews than the zoo at Dalton recently.

The town of Barton-upon-Humber is the home of the rather exotically named Westella & Willerby Football Club, who play against Rossington Main Football Club in the Toolstation Northern Counties East Football League Division One (not for long, though ... they've been relegated this season).

Castleton also used to be on the A625 road from Sheffield to Chapel-en-le-Frith, on the way to Manchester, although after continual collapses and repairs, the road was eventually abandoned.

Whereas Dunchideock is supposed to have a treacle mine, Knotty Ash, according to Ken Dodd, is supposed to have a jam butty mine.
