@Soditsally i looked it up years ago and I seem to remember it was part of a farm? Near Cotton something?
Yup, Sheffield here 👍

Old money, yummy mummies, Birkenstocks, cycling, pedigree dogs.

I think most places I've lived in are too small and/or boring to be recognisable!

Everyone's heard of one of the towns I've lived in because of the nearby motorway services, but I realise that probably applies to a few places. The motorway bridge was named after a DJ though, which should narrow down.

The Wirral.

I was going to say that too. Do people really not know where it is?

Small island, natterjack toads and our own geranium which is found nowhere else. Overlooked by 2 brooding giants - one natural to the North, one manmade to the East.

One of the Isles of Scilly (geranium maderense)

It's a never ending surprise (shock) to me what people don't know! Pontefract is in Wales and Harrogate is a seaside resort according to a thread here yesterday. At last now those individuals now know better!

Yes, and hence the football team are known as ‘The Hatters’.

Sup up your beer and collect your fags
There's a row going on down here.

A sit-com was based here. A planet was discovered from here.
We're bored witless with hearing the first line of a poem.

I feel like there could be a whole thread dedicated to lyrics about places too!
