We live on the coast. The town has a well known golf course, a brutalist pier and a dinky castle. The neighbouring town has a bigger castle. The town after that has an absolute beast of a castle.

You've got mine - Chester.
DHs town from mine is c25miles east (and south-ish) think lots of railways (and the "Alex") Grin

I realised that you were from Chester but your update would suggest that your DH is from Crewe.

🏆 Yep.
I thought the "rose" might give mine away, but didn't want to say "Bentley/Footballlers cars" and blow it too early. Grin

We have a blue plaque in one of our shopping arcades dedicated to when David Bowie played here in the mid 60's.

Where I grew up is easy - a gorge and cheese.

Where I live - we have a uni and a cathedral but not a city.

Cheddar and Guildford?

No one has mine then ? Ok another clue.... There are no grey squirrels here. And you can get here floating on air. ( In fact it's the only place in the Uk that has a scheduled service doing so )
