Continuing the water theme, Tewkesbury has also suffered badly due to flooding in recent years.
For anyone unsure of the "new" ruling, note how the similarity here is merely water. There is plenty of scope for how to "play" such an association without making it seem similar to the previous few, hence it being perfectly reasonable. If it said "Tewkesbury is also on a river", it would have been marginal; mentioning the (Severn) Valley would be taking it too far.

East Ardsley is another settlement in the area known as the Heavy Woollen District of that part of Yorkshire.
Do we assume that also passes through Wycoller?
Alwoodley also has a Deborah Coultish School of Dance.
No need to assume - it does!
Wycoller Hall was the model for Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre"
Ripponden
[Eccup Reservoir, owned by Yorkshire Water] is in the suburbs of Alwoodley. Baitings Reservoir, also owned by Yorkshire Water, is on the outskirts of Ripponden].

Leeds was also a settlement in the Brythonic Kingdom of Elmet
OK - here's another chance for Deerfold:-
Reading has a "Selective" day and boarding-school, as does Rishworth [just up the road from the above said domicile]
Nelson also used to have a Mill producing products for Coloroll.
My uncle was manager at the Rishworth one until the company went bankrupt and everyone lost their jobs despite them having full order books for the next 6 months at Rishworth.
