Farranfore in County Kerry also lies on the line of the Brown Flesk River.

 

[Calthrop]

Farranfore's name is reckoned to be derived from the Irish An Fearrann Fuer = "the cold land". Just on the other side of the Irish Sea is a settlement with a similarly-themed name: Cold Blow, Pembrokeshire (between Saundersfoot and Narberth) -- name indeed referring to the coldness of the wind frequently felt there.

Southwark has also seen one of its historic structures disassembled and shipped over to the US; for Hartlebury it was a Tudor house that was sent across to the Frontier Culture Museum, while for Southwark it was old London Bridge.

Of note in Southwark in times past, was the Harvard family. John Harvard (1607 -- 38), born in Southwark, emigrated to the Massachusetts Colony in America: was the first benefactor of the embryonic Harvard University, thus named after him. His mother's house is in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.

I figured it would definitely prove a bit of a headscratcher! I was expecting either a River Esk reference, or a reference to the M6! Wasn't expecting to go all the way to Manchester!
