Ely[/B] is another raised land area in what is termed Fenland which enabled Brythonic tribal settlement to occur.

That posting has now been "struck through"......Most annoying tonight coming home at 2200 and seeing messages saying that the server was too busy..

Buckingham is also on the route of the X5 coach service.

Godmanchester is also on the line of the River Great Ouse.

 

[Schnellzug]

Despite its name, Godmanchester is not an exclamation relating to a well know north-western city.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exeter also has a ship canal and a cathedral....(so does Chichester for that matter)

 

[Johnuk123]

Coventry was also very badly bombed by the Germans in WW2.

 

[LE Greys]

As was Clydebank

 

[Johnuk123]

Hull was very badly damaged by the WW2 bombs also.

 

[Ivo]

Hull is a rare example of a settlement that has become better known by the latter part of its full name (Kingston-upon-Hull). This is also true of Great Yarmouth.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Lybster was also a fishing port where herring was a major catch.

 

[Schnellzug]

Can you catch lobsters at Lybster? I don't suppose you can at Vobster.

 

[Johnuk123]

Cannock also used to be a large coal-mining area.

 

[Ivo]

Romford also has an ice-skating facility.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Newport in Monmouthshire has a German war cemetery, as does Cannock.

 

[Johnuk123]

Norwich is another University town.

 

[Ivo]

Norwich is another University town.

Is that supposed to link to Romford or Newport? If it's the former, it doesn't work. If it's the latter, Newport didn't work...

We have to go on from Romford. Sorry

 

[Welshman]

Steve Davis learned to play snooker in Romford, but has probably been seen most at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

 

[Johnuk123]

Birmingham is another University City.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The posting that had Newport was posted too late and has been officially "struck-through"

Birmingham is another University City.

Worsley also has a motorway braided interchange.

 

[Welshman]

Worsley has been nominated a World Heritage Site.
If approved, it will join the ranks with the likes of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct at Froncysyllte.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Horton in Ribblesdale also has a limestone quarrying heritage.

 

[Welshman]

Horton in Ribblesdale is not too far away from another famous viaduct!

Eyam was also struck by plague in the 16c-17c.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wirksworth was also a settlement used by the Romans as a source of lead mining.

 

[Johnuk123]

Eaton Socon also has a St. Marys Church.

 

[Ivo]

Another X5 association ():

Madingley is also close to the X5 coach route; however, technically it isn't served - only the nearby Park & Ride is.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Brookwood in Surrey also has an American military cemetery.

 

[LadyDeltic]

Poole is also on the South Western Main Line.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Poole is also on the South Western Main Line.

Ilchester in Somserset was also an established settlement of the pre-Roman Celtic tribe called the Durotriges

 

[ATW Alex 101]

ilfracombe is also not too far from somerset and begins with "il"

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Exeter was the site of a defensive military settlement of the pre-Roman Celtic tribe called the Dumnonii, who had a similar settlement at Ilfracombe.
