Something which I have just discovered: Coleraine, not [London]Derry, is the county town of the latter-named's eponymous county. A phenomenon which occurs in several instances in England: including Derbyshire's county town -- not Derby, but Matlock.

Douglas, Isle of Man also used to have a cable tramway system. It opened on 15 August 1896 and closed on 19 August 1929.

Matlock Cable Tramway operated between 28 March 1893 and 30 September 1927.
