Settlement Association

[12CSVT]

Old Kilpartick (Strathclyde) is dominated by a very tall road bridge

 

[Ivo]

St Clears is another small-ish settlement with three 'A'-class roads serving it.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chepstow is another settlement where the Normans built a castle.

 

[Ivo]

Galashiels is also served by a First bus route that serves two different constituent areas of the United Kingdom.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Claddach (on Kirkibost) also possesses the remains of an Iron Age hill fort (Dun Ringill)....the one at Galashiels is called Torwoodlee

 

[Ivo]

In spite of being in a completely different part of the wider UK (among other differences), Clydach has a very similar name to Claddach.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Ynysmeudwy was another settlement on the line of the Swansea Canal.

 

[Ivo]

Good luck to any Englishman in spelling and pronouncing that correctly!

Ditto for the famous name Llanfairpwll ... gogogoch.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Inverness also contains a James Pringle Weavers shop.

 

[Welshman]

Inverness is the gateway to the Black Isle via the Kessock Bridge.
Kyle of Lochalsh is the gateway to the Isle of Skye via the Skye Bridge.

 

[Ivo]

Pwllheli is another small settlement situated on the west coast at the end of a long, yet quiet, railway.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Llandudno was another settlement in North Wales that once had a coastal route tramway system joining it to another settlement.

 

[Welshman]

Llandudno is often called "The Queen of Welsh Resorts"

"The Queen of the South" is associated[biblically] with Sheba, and, I suspect, more well-known with Dumfries.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Moreton-in-Marsh also hosts an Agricultural and Horse Show.

 

[Welshman]

I wonder if Moreton-in-Marsh was the inspiration of the BBC comedy "Much Minding-in-the-Marsh"? [showing my age now!].

That show starred, amongst others, Richard Murdoch, who was born at Keston in the London Borough of Bromley.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tarrant Hinton in Dorset is another settlement where archaeological works revealed the remains of a Roman villa.

 

[fireftrm]

Yes M-I-M was the inspiration - the RAF base there being the basis, now the Fire Service College, oh how I miss my weeks of training and the hideous bedrooms.......
Pickering is another site of a well known and attended Steam Fair

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wymondham in Norfolk also has a Scheduled Monument (Wymondham Abbey).....The one in Pickering is Pickering Castle.

 

[fireftrm]

Alnwick also has a market cross

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wombwell also has an athletics club

 

[Ivo]

Winnersh also has eight letters, the first of which is W, in its name of two syllables.

Yay for using the same location in both Settlement and Station games, only seconds apart. Not.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Old Basing also lies on the line of the River Loddon.

 

[Ivo]

Old Harlow is another area within commuting range of London that is now merely a suburb of a town that grew massively after the Second World War.

Of course, Basingstoke is technically an Expanded Town and not a New Town.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Whippingham on the Isle of Wight is another small settlement that contains a Grade I listed building (St.Mildred's church)

 

[Welshman]

The Cathedral Church at Ely also has a lantern tower.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Landbeach also lies on the line of the Roman road called Akeman Street.

 

[Ivo]

What better match for Landbeach than Waterbeach?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Branston Booths is also on the line of the Roman waterway called Car Dyke

 

[Welshman]

Branston Pickle is now made in Bury St Edmunds.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Totnes also has a Guildhall.
