Petts Wood is another location on the route of the London LOOP. The 150 mile footpath around outer London.

 

[John Griffiths]

Was Pets Wood a recently-introduced name for Petts Wood?

Douglas (IoM) is also the capital of another Crown Dependency.

@Tetragon213 -- I had a splendid one to follow from St. Helier; but you beat me to it !

Nelson, Lancashire, also has a namesake settlement in the US State of Arizona.

 

[D6130]

Rawtenstall in Lancashire was also once a major centre of the cotton spinning industry.

 

[High Dyke]

A Cabinet of Curiosities room was opened at The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery in Rawtenstall, in 2021.

Another location with a similar exhibition is The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History in Hackney, London.

 

[Calthrop]

Brougham, Cumbria -- just south-east of Penrith -- has also, a name which also belongs to a type of horse-drawn road conveyance.

 

[High Dyke]

Formby, Merseyside is another location where the native red squirrel can be found.

 

[Calthrop]

Saffron Walden, Essex, also has a church dedicated to Our Lady of Compassion.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wicken Bonhunt in Essex was also once administered by the ancient Hundred of Uttlesford.

 

[Calthrop]

Fun with speculated-on name-derivations: it is suggested that Wicken Bonhunt's name may originate from the Old English wic = dairy farm (plural wicum), plus bann-huntan = huntsmen liable to be summoned. A slight possible similarity, re the name of Wicken, Northamptonshire -- located between Milton Keynes and Buckingham. This name reckoned likely to come from either the Saxon word wic = farm, or Latin from Roman times vicus = settlement. (In the Middle Ages, this Northants. settlement comprised two separate villages, Wick Dive and Wick Hamon -- later amalgamated.)

Woodnesborough in Kent also has the site of a prehistoric ring ditch within its environs.

 

[Calthrop]

Woodnesborough's church of St. Mary the Blessed Virgin has an ogee cupola; as does that of St. Peter at Sandwich, Kent, a short way to the east. (To ignoramus me, an o.c. would appear to be -- from the picture in the Wiki article -- "a funny thing on top of the church tower ".)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Waldershare in Kent was also once administered by the Hundred of Eastry.

 

[Calthrop]

We are given to understand that "in the old tongue", "Waldershare" means "district of the forest-dwellers". Along rather similar lines: the name of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire (a little way north of Cheltenham; adjacent to Bishop's Cleeve) is reckoned to signify "woodmen's cottage".

 

[High Dyke]

The first telephone exchange in Woodmancote was opened by the National Telephone Company in 1899.

Sir William Cuthbert Quilter was one of the founders of the National Telephone Company. In 1886 Quilter built the manor house at Bawdsey, Suffolk .

 

[Calthrop]

Bawdsey and its adjacent coastal reaches: are esteemed in geological learning, as being a prime site for something called Red Crag Formation. To my shame, this means rather less to me, than do ogee cupolas; however -- it seems to be a thing peculiar in Britain, to south-east Suffolk and north-east Essex: in the latter, there is "more of this stuff" around Walton-on-the-Naze.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lowestoft in Suffolk is also an east coast settlement with a maritime museum.

 

[Calthrop]

At Lowestoft is the Gull Wing Bridge: a rolling bascule bridge which is to date, the largest bridge of its kind in the world. It spans Lake Lothing in the town. There is another impressive bascule bridge in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria: carrying the A590 road between Barrow Island, and Walney Island.

 

[High Dyke]

Abbey House on Abbey Road, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England is a Neo-Elizabethan H-plan mansion designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1914 as a guest house for Vickers Ltd and a flat for the Managing Director, Sir James McKechnie.

Another Lutyens designed building is Castle Drogo, a country house and mixed-revivalist castle near Drewsteignton, Devon, England. Constructed between 1911 and 1930, it was the last castle to be built in England.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gosport in Hampshire also has a church that is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

 

[Calthrop]

Chorley, Lancashire, also has a local newspaper with an alliterative name -- the Chorley Chronicle (which is free of charge). Gosport's -- which one has to pay for, so far as I know -- is the Gosport Globe.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eccles in Greater Manchester also lends its name to a delicacy that has a name ending in the word "cake".

 

[D6130]

Sowwood Green in West Yorkshire also has a pub called the 'Dog & Partridge'.
