Wroot is another settlement of the geographical area known as the Isle of Axholme.

 

[John Griffiths]

Ely is also a settlement on an island surrounded by (former) wetlands.

Norwich is also a cathedral city.

 

[Springs Branch]

On Christmas Eve 1971 BBC TV screened what was to be the first in an annual series of programmes A Ghost Story for Christmas.
The first production was an adaptation of a classic M.R. James ghost story entitled The Stalls of Barchester and was filmed on location at Norwich Cathedral.
The following episode, aired on Christmas Eve 1972, was an adaptation of another of James's stories A Warning to the Curious, which was partly filmed at Wells-next-the-Sea.

Bacton Gas Terminal is within the Mundesley electoral ward. There is another terminal where North Sea gas comes ashore at Easington.

Barnstaple, like Abbotsbury, has a sub-tropical garden.

West Devon Borough Council has its headquarters in Tavistock.

Lincoln also lies on the line of the Roman road known as Fosse Way.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Lincoln is home to the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste University. The latter is named after Robert Grosseteste (c1175 - 1253), who was an English statesman, scholastic philosopher, theologian, scientist and Bishop of Lincoln. He was born of humble parents at Stradbroke in Suffolk.

 

[DerekC]

Stradbroke Parish contains a farmstead or hamlet called Doggett. I have no idea whether this is linked to Doggett's Coat and Badge, which is an annual race on the River Thames for Thames watermen, and also the name of a pub in Southwark.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Liverpool also has two cathedrals.

 

[DerekC]

Liverpool, as everybody knows, has a ferry 'cross the Mersey to Wallasey and Birkenhead.

Criccieth also was chosen as the site for a castle by Llywelyn the Great.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Cadwaladers is a family run chain of cafes that originated by David and Hannah Cadwalader in 1927 in Criccieth. It was originally run as a general store but when business was passed onto one of their children, Dafydd, he changed the emphasis of the store and sold, from the end of World War II, vanilla ice cream that Hannah Cadwalader developed.

After Dafydd Cadwalader died in 1983, Cadwalader's was bought by a family of Welsh entrepreneurs, the Andrews Family who expanded the business to cover North Wales and Cardiff. Today, Cadwalader's stores can be found in Wales at amongst other places, Barry Island.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pwllheli is another Welsh settlement to be chosen for a site for a Butlins Holiday Camp, but like Barry Island it now has a different ownership name.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Pwllheli was the birthplace of the Welsh poet Sir Albert Evans-Jones, better known by his bardic name of Cynan. He served as a Minister until 1931 when he was appointed a tutor in the Extramural Department of the University College of North Wales, Bangor. Whilst working in the University, Cynan lived in Menai Bridge, Anglesey, but in his best known poem he expressed a wish to retire to Aberdaron, Caernarfonshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Llanbedrog is another coastal holiday resort on the Lleyn peninsula.

 

[Springs Branch]

Berwyn Coaches operate several local bus routes to towns and villages on the Lleyn peninsula, including the 17 & 18 passing through Llanbedrog. Berwyn's no. 12 bus route serves Caernarfon.
