Largest beach launched fishing fleet also Hastings
Battle abbey also east Sussex
Pottery is Staffordshire, not Derbyshire.
Edit: Cheshire cheese. Lewis Carroll was over 120 years ago and, while influential in children’s literature and in maths, had certain… predilections.
Gotta add Black Sabbath to Brum
Edit: I forgot about UB40, Dexys Midnight Runners and Duran Duran
This is first class trolling, well done.
Fizzy drinks?
The Isle of Wight should say ‘disproportionate number of prisons’.
Mmmmm, Stilton and blu tack.
Surprised it wasn’t pork pies and crisps though.
I’d have said Oliver Cromwell and Cambridge University for Cambridgeshire.
North York Moors?
Lancashire needs Wallace and Gromit, surely!
Preston (Lancs) is the only place still to celebrate a Guild Merchant every 20 years, but I’m not sure if it’s famous for it…
I’d have put the Roman Wall ahead of Alnwick Castle myself, although a fair proportion of it isn’t in Northumberland.
No Brand’s Hatch for Kent?
This is a troll, right?
The smallest pub is actually in Cleethorpes… and it’s the smallest in the world no less!
Wasn’t Downton Abbey set in Yorkshire? How did Hampshire get it?
Oh dear .. the Evertonians are weeping.
Lewis Carrol lived, died and is buried Guildford, Surrey
west Yorkshire should be clothing making.
Buckingshire: paralympics
Thatcher in Lincolnshire. She was from Grantham, same as Newton.
Torquay in Devon, for Fawlty Towers if nothing else 😂
suffolk is generally known as the flattest county. Though Cambridgeshire is THE flattest.
What about Blackpool Tower, trains, Slade, black pudding, computers… Etc?
Bristol = Brunel
Is the World Oldest Sweet Shop in North Yorkshire referencing the shop at Pateley Bridge? I love that place.
No Clifton Suspension Bridge?
On the Cornish pasty end there are also gemstones that aren’t found anywhere else in the country
Robin Hood was from (and is buried in) Huddersfield, if you believe the very large and old grave that’s there. It’s in some woods between Brighouse and Dalton, opposite a hotel. He’s famous for contending with the Sheffield of Nottingham, but the person was from what is now West Yorkshire, not South Yorkshire or Nottinghamshire.
Edit: Also stemming from West Yorkshire should be the Luddite movement and rejection of profits over people as an ideology for the modern world.
HMS Victory? Surely Titanic is the more famous of the two ships 😂
I’m from County Durham and knew nothing about our mustard heritage.
Essex girls!
I’d have put ‘Viking invasion’ in Northumberland and ‘heavy metal’ in Brum/West Mids.
These days ‘car park king’ isn’t a bad shout for Leicestershire either.
I think you’ll find Birmingham’s famous for Tolkien too.
For the West Midlands, I would have said either Tolkien, Ozzy, Led Zeppelin, or Judas Priest.
Norfolk is most famous for the Inceni tribe and Boudica
Essex, Prodigy and Depeche Mode.
