Settlement Association

[johnnychips]

The suffix wich in Cheshire indicates a place where salt is mined. It used to travel to Yorkshire via the Cheshire ‘salt corridor’, in which Woodhead was the last settlement before the border.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glossop also has a church that is dedicated to St James.

 

[johnnychips]

Glossop is at the start of the Snake Pass, the A57. When you cross it over the Pennines, the first settlement that is rather more than a hamlet you come to is Rivelin.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Malin Bridge also lies on the line of the River Rivelin.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Present-day Malin Bridge is centred on a busy road junction which consists of a one-way traffic loop with various roads leading off. The A6101 (Rivelin Valley Road) leads off to the SW and after three miles connects to the A57 road. The first significant town that the A57 serves on it's way to Manchester is Glossop.

Canterbury is another city of cultural rather than military importance which was bombed by the Luftwaffe during the Baedeker Blitz of 1942.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Boughton in Cheshire, in medieval times, also once possessed a leper hospital.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

St. Paul's Church in Boughton was redesigned by the Victorian architect John Douglas, who also lived in Boughton and worshipped there. John Douglas's only church built entirely in half-timbering is the small church of St Michael and All Angels at Great Altcar in Lancashire.

Eccleston was also once administered by the Hundred of West Derby.

 

[Springs Branch]

Eccles also has a pub named The Stanley Arms.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The statesman, financier, and former Member of Parliament William Huskisson PC was born in Malvern on 11th March 1770. He is commonly known as the world's first widely reported railway passenger casualty as he was run over and fatally wounded by Robert Stephenson's pioneering locomotive Rocket; the accident took place at Parkside station, but he died at the Vicarage at Eccles.

Buxton is also associated with mineral water.

The Royal Lymington Yacht Club is based, unsurprisingly, in Lymington.
Another "Royal" yacht club is the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, with a base in Burnham-on-Crouch.

 

[johnnychips]

The song Billericay Dickie by Ian Dury mentions Burnham-on-Crouch.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Alresford has also been connected with watercress cultivation.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The cricket commentator John Arlott resided in Alresford between 1961 and 1981.
I'm offering two options to proceed:
(If I'm allowed this) He died on 14th December 1991 in St Annes, Alderney, Channel Islands
(If I'm not allowed this) He was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire on 25th February 1914.

Why are you hedging your bets, out of interest?

You can't blame him, as the rules as written do not make matters clear as to which areas are allowed to be used in postings. (Unless I have got the wrong quiz rules in mind).

I'm unsure whether the Channel Islands are allowed, hence my two options.

 

[Springs Branch]

Quoting from the rules in Post #1

Rules:
Repeating any of the previous three clues or names of settlements in a link is forbidden (you can of course quote a previous post)
Associations provided should be clearly dissimilar to each of the previous three associations.
Settlements may be anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland (Éire), Isle of Man and The Channel Islands.
A description of the association should be incorporated in each posting, without simply posting the name only.

it's clear that Channel Islands settlements are allowed, so continuing from St Anne.....

The Alderney Museum in St Anne is a past winner of a Gulbenkian award for "most outstanding achievement with limited resources".
Another past winner of a Gulbenkian award is the River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames.

 

[High Dyke]

The River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames was designed by the architect Sir David Chipperfield. He also designed the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.

Cheddar also has a shell grotto.
