[Xenophon PCDGS]

Long Whatton in Leicestershire was also once under the jurisdiction of the Loughborough Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Painswick, Gloucestershire, also has a pub called the Falcon.

 

[A0]

Bow Wow Sauce or Wow Wow Sauce is a sauce composed of stock, vinegar, port wine, mustard and pickled walnuts which is usually served with roast meat was developed in Painswick.

Philadelphus Jeyes also developed a sauce in Northampton in 1835 - it has recently been recreated by Jeyes of Earls Barton.

 

[M-Train]

Cardiff was served by municipal S-reg Bristol VR's at about the same time that Northampton was.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Langworthy in Greater Manchester also has a Community Church.

 

[M-Train]

Westerham, Kent is also immediately to the south of the motorway which runs through the local area.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Puddledock in Kent was also once administered by the Hundred of Westerham and Eatonbridge.

 

[Springs Branch]

Bleasdale in the Wyre district of Lancashire is another location where 'Glamping' accommodation is available.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Garstang in Lancashire was also once administered by the Hundred of Amounderness.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Garstang is famous for being the world's first ever Fair Trade Town in 2001; another one is Burntisland in the Kingdom of Fife.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Anstruther in Fife was also created a Royal Burgh in the 16th century.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Anstruther lies on the A917; travelling south west on the road, the next settlement is Pittenweem.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Perth in Perth and Kinross also hosts an Arts Festival.

 

[Calthrop]

Montrose, Angus: is another substantial Scottish settlement whose name features in the title of a work by Sir Walter Scott: respectively, The Fair Maid of Perth; and A Legend of [the wars of] Montrose.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The town of Montrose shared it's name with the recently decommissioned Royal Navy Frigate F236 HMS Montrose, although the ship was actually named after the Duke of Montrose. Similarly, her fellow Duke Class Frigate F233 HMS Marlborough is named after the Duke of the same name rather than the town of Marlborough in Wiltshire.

 

[Calthrop]

There is a tradition that the Marlborough Mound -- a 62 ft. high prehistoric tumulus within the town's limits -- is the burial-place of the wizard Merlin, of Arthurian renown. Several other places in Great Britain vie for this honour; including Drumelzier (Scottish Borders) -- south-west of Peebles.

 

[D6130]

Drumelzier is one of a number of settlements in Southern Scotland with an archaic letter 'z' in its name which is actually pronounced as a 'y'. Thus it is pronounced as 'Drumelyer'. Similarly Kirkgunzeon in Dumfries & Galloway is pronounced as 'Kirkgunyeon'.

 

[M-Train]

Twickenham in west London also lies on an A-road whose number is a multiple of 79.
(Kirkgunzeon is on the A711 and Twickenham is on the A316.)

 

[D6130]

Ballsbridge in South Dublin also has an international Rugby Union stadium.

 

[Calthrop]

Ballsbridge is a definitely prestigious area of Dublin: two of its streets form the highest-scoring area on the Dublin variation of the Monopoly board -- equivalent to Park Lane and Mayfair (City of Westminster) on the classic London one.

 

[A0]

Cadbury's used to have their head office at Berkeley Square which is Mayfair. It's head office is now in Uxbridge

 

[M-Train]

Uxbridge represented the westernmost extent of the LT trolleybus network; the furthest south it reached was Sutton, on the 654.

 

[A0]

Sutton was part of Surrey until 1965 when it was transferred to Greater London. Another place which changed county in 1965 was Peterborough which was part of Northamptonshire and moved to the short lived Huntingdon & Peterborough county.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thrapston in Northamptonshire also lies on the line of the River Nene.

 

[A0]

Thrapston in Northamptonshire once had two railway stations and now has none.

Another place in Northamptonshire where this is the case is Brackley.

 

[M-Train]

There is also a county tripoint near Biggin Hill: London (which it lies in), Kent, and Surrey.
(Brackley is in Northants, but close to the tripoint with Oxon & Bucks)

 

[D6130]

Manston in Kent also had an RAF fighter base which was instrumental in the Battle of Britain in 1940.

 

[A0]

Staying on the aviation theme - Manston became Kent International Airport before closing in 2014.

Finningley also saw its former RAF base become a commercial airport (Robin Hood, later Doncaster-Sheffield) before closing in 2022.

Thrapston in Northamptonshire once had two railway stations and now has none.

Another place in Northamptonshire where this is the case is Brackley.

Do note that associations in this game are not to be rail-related, for which there is a separate thread.

I suggest we continue from here (unless you can amend the posting with a new association).
