The placename element "Eaves" refers to proximity to a mediaeval forest. Bashall Eaves is close to the Forest of Bowland. Woodhouse Eaves in Leicestershire is or was close to Charnwood Forest.

Scotforth is served by a night bus route numbered N1. Surrey Quays, London is also served by this route number.

Abbots Leigh and Long Marston in Warwickshire are both places where King Charles II stayed the night during his escape from England after his final defeat by Parliamentary forces at the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
