Herne Bay also has a clock tower.

 

[John Griffiths]

The nineteenth century developers of Herne Bay wanted to name it St Augustine's, after the saint who is buried in Canterbury.

In early Anglo-Saxon times Kent was divided. Canterbury was the capital of East Kent. Rochester was the capital of West Kent.

Wadworth also has a White Hart pub.

 

[John Griffiths]

The White Hart was the badge (or emblem) of Richard II, who, having been deposed and replaced as king by Henry IV, died (possibly of starvation) in the castle at Pontefract.

 

[johnnychips]

John, I think the idea of the quiz is to link the place named to the next place you suggest, rather than the thing associated with it. I was very interested in the facts in your post, however! But if you said something like 'Pontefract was in the old West Riding of Yorkshire, as was Wadworth' that would be entirely correct.

The White Hart was the badge (or emblem) of Richard II, who, having been deposed and replaced as king by Henry IV, died (possibly of starvation) in the castle at Pontefract.

Musselburgh also has a racecourse.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

According to his autobiography, Sir Harry Lauder's parents lived at Musselburgh after he was born. He was, however, born on 4th August 1870 in his maternal grandfather's house in Portobello, Edinburgh.

Worthing also has marine gardens.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Worthing FC, nicknamed "The Rebels" or "The Mackerel Men", is the town's main football club, and was formed in 1886. They play in the Isthmian League Premier Division where one of their opponents is Enfield Town FC, who are based in Enfield Town, Greater London.

 

[John Griffiths]

Birtley was also the location of a Royal Ordnance Factory.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Royal Ordnance Factory, operated by BAE, was replaced in late 2011 by a new purpose-built 350,000 sq. ft. factory in nearby Washington, on the site of the old Dunlop Tyre factory. The entire Birtley workforce moved to this site.

Washington has a mining museum, as does Blaenavon.
