The rocks round Lyme are full of fossils; even more so in Rhynie.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Strathpeffer and Rhynie are places where Class I Pictish Stelae are found.

 

[Ivo]

Another area whose first syllable is "Strath" is the former area of Strathclyde, which is of course under the jurisdiction of Strathclyde police, based in Glasgow.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Manchester and Glasgow have nationally recognised Art Galleries.

Liverpool is another city with 2 premiership football clubs. * walks away singing 'Glory Glory Man United'*

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Southampton and Liverpool both had a great reputation concerning passenger liners that made the Atlantic crossing.

Don't set foot in Liverpool any time soon

Ferry services run from Southampton to several destinations, including Hythe.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sandwich and Hythe were two of the five Cinque Ports.

 

[Schnellzug]

One popular ingredient to put in a Sandwich is Cheddar.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Winchester and Cheddar both hosted meetings in Saxon times of the WITENAGEMOT gathering.

 

[Class172]

Newbury is also served by the A34.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Naseby and Newbury were both scenes of battles in the English Civil War.

 

[Gathursty]

The last two letters of Naseby are the first two of Byfleet!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Alpraham (in Cheshire) and Byfleet (in Surrey) were settlements that were entered in the Domesday Book.

Ferry services run from Southampton to several destinations, including Hythe.

Sandwich and Hythe were two of the five Cinque Ports.

Just to clarify, you do realise that your Hythe is not the same as mine...?

Tamworth is also on the A51.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Apologies..the Cinque Ports one was at the front of my mind. In relation to your quote above, I will reply by saying:-

Southport and Hythe (Hampshire) have pier railways.

Tamworth is also on the A51.

In the Saxon kingdom of Mercia, Lichfield was the religious centre and Tamworth was the administrative centre.

 

[Ivo]

Very good!

Now to bring them both together:

Doncaster also has nine letters in its name.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Derby and Doncaster had large locomotive works.

 

[Class172]

Droitwich Spa is also by-passed by the A38.

 

[Ivo]

Droitwich Spa is also by-passed by the A38.

Where?

The location of my local station at home, Thorpe Bay, is also formed of two words. And before Paul asks, I do intend to visit The Broadway while I'm at home! The bakery there is among the best I've ever been to

 

[Class172]

Herne Bay also has 'bay' in its name.

Where?

Well, from Derby...

A38 all the way
or a quicker route...
A38-M6 Toll (JT4)-M42 (J9)-M5 (J4A)-J5-A38-B4065

SETTLEMENT Association?

 

[Class172]

SETTLEMENT Association?

Darn it!

 

[Ivo]

Whitstable sits besides Herne Bay on the north Kentish coast, and between they form supposedly the county's nicest resort area. (I've never been though.)

 

[Class172]

St Ives (Cornwall) is also a popular seaside destination.

 

[Ivo]

Personal one now:

Blackpool is also somewhere I went on a day trip where I received some very unwelcome news relating to my father's work

I've visited both once only, and both have been affected!

--------------------

If anyone is wondering, in Blackpool he informed me that our holiday would be cut short and I was left with a daunting £20 availability to get me all the way from Southport to Bath, while in St Ives, well... this (for which he was praised by the emergency services) saw him sacked, due to his company's total ineptitude. It was only brief, probably due to the likely pressure from the emergency services, but Heaven only knows why he didn't just quit there and then...

Poole, also has pool in it's name and is next to water.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exeter and Poole had settlements of the Durotiges (Celtic) tribal people at the time of the Roman invasion of Britain.

 

[Class172]

Exeter and Llanelli are near the end of Motoways (M5;M4).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Swansea and Llanelli both have associations with the tinplate industry.
