if we're onto the subject of homonyms, The Lewis gun was a popular model of machine gun, and which sounds very much like Lewes. Another popular gun to see sevice with the British army was the Enfield rifle.

 

[Welshman]

Would you find Lewis guns and Enfield rifles in the Woolwich Arsenal?

Woolwich Arsenal football club, who started as Royal Arsenal moved to Highbury in North London & dropped the Woolwich part of there name when they moved to Highbury, but now play at The Emirates in Holloway

Styal also has a prison for women.

 

[Welshman]

Quarry Bank Mill, on the Styal Estate, is one of the best-preserved Cotton Mills, reminding us of a bygone age.

70 years ago, you didn't have to go to Styal. They were plentiful in almost every Lancashire town. So let's say:-

Accrington

Sleaford's football club was also formed in 1968.

St Denys is a relatively rare dedication for a parish church.

Sleaford's Parish Church is dedicated to St Denys.

Elvington has the same spelling bar 1 letter.

Sennen, Cornwall is at the other end of the A30 (the third longest road number in the country).

Lulworth is also well known for its cove.

 

[Eagle]

Lulworth hosts the lesser of the two Bestivals; the larger is held just outside Newport (Wight).

 

[Ivo]

The River Medina, which runs through Newport IOW, meets the Solent at Cowes.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Fishbourne also was where a Roman villa was found.

 

[Schnellzug]

There are two Fishbournes, one in the IOW where the Ferry goes and one in Sussex. A similar situation pertains with Yarmouth, where there is one in the IOW, where the Ferries go, and another one, prefixed by the word "Great", in East Anglia. Norfolk, I think. Anyway, it is this one to which I refer.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Assuming that you mean Great Yarmouth....


Southport is also a seaside resort with a pier and a Pleasure Beach.

No it isn't !!! Thanet hasn't been an island since 1672 ! Last time I looked, Portsmouth still was an island.
