Settlement Association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Prince William is currently based at RAF Valley

What is the settlement connection between Valley and Fort William ?

 

[Ivo]

Prince William I think.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Prince William I think.

Leuchars and Valley have RAF connections.

Tayport is another settlement in Fife.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Birkenhead and Tayport both had an early Middle Ages ferry service run by monks.

 

[Welshman]

Pontefract

the seat of another Suffragan Bishop.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chester and Pontefract both have a racecourse.

 

[Bedpan]

Gnosall, phonetically at least, stars with the name of a body part, as does Chester.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wallingford and Gnosall were both settlements that were entered into the Domesday Book.

 

[deltic1989]

Gnosall as Geneshalle and Acton Trussel as Actone, are both villages on Staffordshire mentioned in the Doomsday Book (sorry Paul I know you usually do these)
Edit: too slow

You put so much effort into this posting, that it is only courtesy to allow it, but can I draw your attention that the second word is usually spelt.. Trussell.

Brading and Acton Trussell were both places where remains of Roman villas were found in Britain.

Thank you, thats really nice of you sir.

I'll go with Waddington as it and, Brading both have pubs called The Wheatsheaf.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bashall Eaves and Waddington were both Mesne Manors of the Forest of Bowland in the Middle Ages.

 

[deltic1989]

Wainfleet and Bashall Eaves both have breweries.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fakenham and Wainfleet were both entered in the Domesday Book.

 

[Welshman]

Amlwch

another town where there are plans to re-open a disused railway line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Redruth and Amlwch are areas with a long historical tradition in copper mining.

 

[Temple Meads]

Blue Anchor (Somerset) also has a colour in it's name.

 

[Ivo]

Hullbridge has an inn by the name of The Anchor.

If you don't know where Hullbridge is, I'll give you a clue: Immediately north of said inn is a ford to a town on a mostly single-track OHLE route.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sutton Courtenay and Hullbridge are places where Mesolithic flint artifacts have been discovered in England.

 

[Class172]

Another place to have 'Sutton' in its name is Sutton Coldfield.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Cannock Chase and Sutton Coldfield are places in the Midlands where Bronze Age burnt mounds have been found and studied.

 

[Welshman]

Honley Station Cutting is another SSSI.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Harrogate and Honley both host agricultural shows.

 

[Class172]

Beaconsfield also has a Waitrose supermarket.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

....as does Wilmslow

 

[Ivo]

Wilmslow is close to a very "select" area to live in (Alderley Edge). Although not to quite the same degree, the same is true of Ascot (Sunningdale and others).

 

[Class172]

Must refrain myself from saying 'As does Droitwich Spa'.

Wilmslow and Shirley are served by the A34.

EDIT: Ivo ruined my posting.

Wilmslow is close to a very "select" area to live in (Alderley Edge). Although not to quite the same degree, the same is true of Ascot (Sunningdale and others).

I thought that you would remember where I live at Prestbury, which is FAR superior to Alderley Edge........

York and Ascot both have racecourses.

 

[Temple Meads]

Swindon also has a railway museum, am I allowed that or not?
