Settlement Association

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hoxne in Suffolk is another settlement where a 4th century Roman hoard was discovered.

 

[Calthrop]

Piddington, Oxfordshire, is also very close indeed to the border of a neighbouring county.

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Knighton/Trefyclawydd Radnor is so close to the border that its train station is in another country

Rules:

• Repeating any of the previous three clues or names of settlements in a link is forbidden (you can of course quote a previous post)
• Associations provided should be clearly dissimilar to each of the previous three associations.
• Settlements may be anywhere in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland (Éire), Isle of Man and The Channel Islands.
• A description of the association should be incorporated in each posting, without simply posting the name only.

It might be an opportune time for the quiz rules to be shown....especially the emboldened one.

Is any mention whatsoever of railways, allowed in this game? If so -- Kilsheelan, Co. Tipperary, had a station on the same (still open today) line, which station was also closed in 1963. If anything railway-related is forbidden: I'll withdraw this post.

The Settlement Association Quiz!

This works in exactly the same manner as the Station Association Quiz, only this thread concentrates on the thousands of inhabited locales.

Please do not make any railway-related postings on this quiz, as the Station Association Quiz has been set up to cover such matters.

Perhaps an opportune time to show what @Ivo said when he first launched this quiz many years ago.

 

[Calthrop]

@Xenophon PCDGS -- thank you for clarification. My "Kilsheelan" in post #17,418, struck out: so we see "Bansha" as last valid posting, yes?
