Hedgerley is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire. It has incorporated the formerly separate parish of Hedgerley Dean since 1934, which was once a hamlet in the parish of Farnham Royal.

Thomas Tunnock Limited, commonly known as Tunnock's, is a family-owned bakery based in Uddingston. In November 2015, the company made a donation of £250,000 to an appeal for an independent lifeboat station at St Abbs, a small fishing village in Berwickshire.

The Crescent, Buxton, was built between 1780 and 1784, and modelled on Bath's Royal Crescent by the architect John Carr (1723 – 1807). He was a prolific English architect and in 1778 provided a design for the Grandstand at Kelso Raceourse, which was built in 1822.

Tourist attractions within the town include Robert Smail's Printing Works, which is now preserved by The National Trust for Scotland as an Industrial Heritage Museum. The Trust has three further properties in the Scottish Borders, two of which (Priorwood Garden and Harmony Garden) are in Melrose.

Woodhead, which crops up in these forums so often, was the extremity of Cheshire. Of course, Chester was the county seat.

Another location mentioned in a Betjeman poem, in less friendly terms, is Slough.
