Airbus UK also has a facility at Filton, South Gloucestershire.

Marsden also has a brass band.

 

[John Griffiths]

Like Marsden, Kidsgrove stands at one end of a noted canal tunnel (Standedge and Harecastle respectively).

 

[DerekC]

Kidsgrove Scouts are the British Drum Corps open champions for 2019. Runners up were the Beeches Performance Ensemble from Birmingham.

Sutton Coldfield is another settlement where archeological finds have been made of late Neolithic period Burnt Mounds.

 

[DerekC]

Sutton Coldfield is home to one of the three most important TV and radio broadcast transmitters in the UK, in terms of population covered. The others are at Winter Hill near Bolton and Crystal Palace in South London.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Is Crystal Palace really a settlement?

Has anyone any thoughts on this?

 

[johnnychips]

Well the local cinema has Crystal Palace in its postal address.

Moving on, Crystal Palace FC are playing Southampton tomorrow, the 28th December.

Colchester was also a Roman fortress settlement.

 

[Springs Branch]

Paxman-branded diesel engines are manufactured in Colchester.
Another UK diesel engine manufacturer is Perkins Engines, based in Peterborough.

Kislingbury in Northamptonshire also lies on the line of the River Nene.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Kislingbury has three pub / restaurants, with the most well-known being the Cromwell Cottage. This has a tenuous historical connection with Oliver Cromwell, although he was born in Huntingdon on 25th April 1599.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Emley in West Yorkshire also has a church dedicated to St Michael the Archangel.

 

[Springs Branch]

Among the pubs operated by the Ossett Brewery are the White Horse in Emley and the Black Bull in Liversedge.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Heald Green also has a place of worship named Christ Church.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

The Lancashire and England cricketer Johnny Briggs was born on 3rd October 1862 in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire; he died on 11th January 1902, aged 39, in Heald Green.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glasgow also has a Zion Baptist Church.

 

[Springs Branch]

Glasgow was the last UK municipality to construct a new trolleybus system, introduced in 1949.
In contrast, the first to introduce trolleybuses (in 1911, at the same time as its larger neighbour in Yorkshire) was Bradford.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Nottingham was also honoured with city status on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897.

 

[DerekC]

Nottingham is closely associated with the Robin Hood legend. Robin is said to have been born at Loxley in South Yorkshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Malin Bridge also suffered a death toll and much property destruction in the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864.

 

[DerekC]

Holbeach Drove shares with Malin Bridge the unusual name of St Polycarp as the dedication for its church.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Deeping St James was also once administered by the wapentake of Elloe.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Resident at Deeping St James is three-time BDO World Champion and three-time World Masters darts champion Martin Adams. He was born in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutton,_London']Sutton, Surrey on 4th June 1956 (one month before me!). [/URL]

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chaldon was also once administered by the ancient Anglo-Saxon Hundred of Wallington.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

At Nos 18 and 20 Roffes Lane are two unusual Arts and Crafts elm timber framed and panelled cottages by the architect Ernest George Trobridge. Exhibitions have been held about Trobridge's work in Oxford in 1982, Edinburgh in 1983 and in the London Borough of Brent in 2010.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

As this is the Settlement Association Quiz, I am having difficulty in tracing an actual settlement (rather than a borough area) with the name of Brent.

Thank you for that.
