Coventry had car manufacturing, like longbridge.

 

[Ivo]

This thread is going too fast...!

From Stourbridge to Ivybridge. I wonder why?

Coventry had car manufacturing, like longbridge.

Two problems. One, Longbridge was a while ago, and 2, I used that exact association to leave Longbridge!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Durham and Coventry have cathedrals

Don't make me change this one...I have had to delete an entry already and Coventry was the previous clue when I made this posting

Ivy bridge - Four Oaks

Types of vegetation

 

[Ivo]

Four Oaks and Coventry are both in the "West Midlands", as is Bilston.

Done!

Oh hold on, Paul's was Durham. Um...

It links to Bilston because I've only ever been through it on public transport. (Worst association ever.)

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Bilston - Milton Keynes cos it weighs a ton

 

[Mvann]

Horsted Keynes as it's the only other Keynes I can think of.

 

[MK Tom]

Interestingly Horsted Keynes is usually pronounced 'Canes', same as the economist which Milton Keynes IS NOT NAMED AFTER - MK is pronounced 'Keens' which comes from a village that is now part of the city.

East Grinstead will join Horsted in being on the Bluebell.
