Settlement Association

Liverpool lies at the other end of the Leeds and Liverpool canal.

 

[Ivo]

Liverpool fought a "war" with Bristol to be the first to send a fully commercial ferry across to New York in the 1800s.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Teignmouth was another coastal settlement from which privateering under "letters marque" was carried out.

 

[fireftrm]

Milngavie, another town not pronounced as it is spelt.

 

[Ivo]

How is it pronounced then?

Neilston is also a dormitory town for Glasgow.

 

[Welshman]

Neilston is also a dormitory town for Glasgow.

"Mull-Guy" I think.

Bacup

also had cotton mills following the industrial revolution.

 

[Ivo]

Fowey also follows the pattern of consonant - vowel - consonant - vowel - consonant (and, like Bacup, all the consonants have the same face value in Scrabble, albeit a different face value to those found in Bacup).





Visitors to the thread may notice that this post has spawned a Cornish vacation...!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Charlestown is another Cornish port with historic connections to the china clay trade.

 

[Welshman]

A little further along the coast, Mousehole also has a history of shipwrecks.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pendeen was also much involved in smuggling activities.

 

[Welshman]

The Trelowarren Estate near Helston also has a fogou.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We are most certainly having a good travelogue of this region, so I will continue in like mind....

Truro was also a Cornish coinage town.

 

[Ivo]

Bodmin has shared administrative duties with Truro over the years.

I have edited Post #4297, Fowey (the first Cornish settlement in this run), to indicate we are apparently on vacation.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Zennor has a Grade I listed church (St Senara)...as is Bodmin parish church which is dedicated to St Petroc

 

[Ivo]

St Ives is at the eastern of the B3306 road which runs through Zennor and terminates to the west near Land's End airport.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

St Just in Penwith is also said to have been named after one of the numerous Cornish saints from the early Christian era.

 

[Ivo]

Truro is also home to a cricket club.

 

[gnolife]

Crewe is also home to the highest positioned football team in its county.

 

[Ivo]

Oh well, vacation's over everyone

Eastleigh also has a strong railway heritage.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Truro is also home to a cricket club.

Ivo, this is MOST unlike you to repeat a settlement so soon, as Truro was posted by me earlier today on posting # 4302....:cry:

 

[Ivo]

So it was. Whoops. Didn't see that - my bad

Unfortunately for our little vacation though we can't go back as there were enough associations in between the two for mine to be technically valid...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Eastleigh also has a strong railway heritage.

London has also had a Roman lead coffin found within its boundaries.

 

[Welshman]

Richard Chartres became Bishop of London in 1995.
Prior to that he was Bishop of Stepney.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Acton was another area that was administered by the medieval Hundred of Ossulstone.

 

[deltic1989]

Acton, if I am correct means Farm by oak trees
So i think a sensible place to go from here would be
Sevenoaks

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Bittesby (in Leicestershire) also was where a type of Medieval sunken pathway called a Hollow Way was established.

 

[Welshman]

Misterton with Walcote
is also a civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Middleton in Greater Manchester also has a parish church dedicated to St Leonard.

 

[Welshman]

Middleton is the fictitional town in the ITV series "Pie in the Sky" starring the late and much lamented Richard Griffiths.
The exterior scenes of his restaurant were actually filmed in Hemel Hempstead.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Kings Langley was also served by the Sparrows Herne turnpike road.
