Key points of interest in Warrington, Cheshire, England. The name Warrington evolved from the Old English name of Wæringtun ‘settlement by the weir’, from Old English wæring, a derivation of wær, maning ‘weir’ (“Warrington: Last name origin and meaning”). The weir in question no doubt is that in the River Mersey, on which banks the town stands (“Warrington”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION The founder of Unitarianism in England and the disoverer of oxygen, Joseph Priestley, was a renowned 18th century free-thinker and scientist, who lived in Warrington and taught at the Academy there from 1761 to 1767. Of the great man and distinguished scholar, the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote in his "Religious Musings" (1796): “Lo! Priestley there, patriot, and saint, and sage, / Him, full of years, from his loved native land / Statesmen blood-stained and priests idolatrous / By dark lies maddening the blind multitude / Drove with vain hate” (“Joseph Priestley”, [s.d.]).

Key points of interest in Birchwood, Warrington, Cheshire, England. Once you have crossed through all the listed words, you will find (some of) the words contained in a quotation on the place. The name change of the town from Risley to Birchwood took place in the late 1960’s, when the redevelopment of the town became a central focus of the Warrington New Town Development Corporation (Tuohey, 2010/11). The change in name is somewhat ironic, despite it being a logical one, seeing that the area east of Birchwood mainly consists of birch forests, as it was after this time that the town truly became a thriving business centre, losing its rural character for once and all (“Birchwood”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION George Sampson, 2008 winner of ITV talent show Britain’s Got Talent, in which he breakdanced on-stage to a Gene Kelly hit Singin’ in the Rain before a TV audience of 13.1 million, heralds from Birchwood. In an interview with BBC News entertainment reporter Liam Allen he is reported as saying “I have a spine disease called Scheuermann's disease ... It's not going to stop me dancing - I'm fine about it” (Allen, 2008). SOURCES Allen, Liam. 2008. Talking Shop: George Sampson.

Key points of interest in Irlam, City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. Irlam is situated on the north bank of the River Irwell, after which it is considered to be named. The current name is an abbreviation of Irwellham (referring to the hamlet of Irwell), by which name it was already known in the 13th century (“Irlam”, [s.d.]). Irlam-raised Michelle Elizabeth Keegan (born 3 June 1987) is an English actress who has gained considerable acclaim for the role that she plays as Tina McIntyre in the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street (OVGuide, [s.d.]). Speaking of a rumoured breakup with Max George from the British-Irish boy band The Wanted, she stated: "At the end of the day the people that matter to me all know the truth and that's all we need" (BBC Radio 1, 2012).

Key points of interest in Manchester, Greater Manchester, England. Manchester derived its name from Mamucium, the Roman name for the 1st century-settlement and wooden fort that was built by the Roman army on a plateau about a mile south of the present cathedral around 80 AD (Lambert, [s.d.]). Mamucium itself is a Latinised form of the Celtic meaning ‘breast-shaped hill’, which the name was probably assigned due to the plateau resembling a breast (“History of Manchester”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION According to Chris Lethbridge, TV producer and director, in "Change and Contradiction" (Diverse City, 1994), "[b]y no stretch of the imagination is Manchester a picturesque city. It is however, emphatically if unconventionally beautiful. In common with all things beautiful...It is fundamentally flawed. It has a compulsion to preen and show off. It is narcissistic, contrary and wayward, and yet you cannot help but love it. It is both admirable and maddening." SOURCES Lambert, Tim. [s.d.]. A brief history of Manchester, England.

Key points of interest in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, England. Stalybridge takes its name from 'Staef', meaning a stave, and 'leah', which refers to a clearing in a wood, with the full meaning of 'Staley' being 'a wood where staves are collected'. This name derives from the farming and weaving that provided an income for the local villagers in the early 1700s. The 'bridge' part of the name was added in the early 19th century (“Township information – Stalybridge”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION Laurence Stephen Lowry is best known for his paintings of the industrial landscapes of Northern England, including those around Stalybridge. He states, “Most of my land and townscape is composite. Made up; part real and part imaginary [...] bits and pieces of my home locality. I don't even know I'm putting them in.

Key points of interest in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. Huddersfield probably means "the Field of an Englishman called Huthhere, or of a Scandinavian called Hather" (Huddersfield One, [s.d.]). QUOTATION As the birthplace and early raising ground of the late British Prime Minister, Harold Wilson (1964–1970 and 1974–1976), Huddersfield appropriately commemorates this Labour Party leader with a statue in front of its railway station in St George’s Square (“Huddersfield”, [s.d.]). As Philip Johnston stated in the Telegraph in 2011, “For anyone growing up in the late Sixties and early Seventies, Harold Wilson and Edward Heath were the changeless double act of British politics”. According to Heath (1998:557), “Harold was, above all else, a great political survivor, ....”. SOURCES Heath, Edward. 1998. The course of my life: The autobiography of Edward Heath.

Key points of interest in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, England. In the seventh century, Paulinus, the apostle and bishop of the Northumbrians, is known to have introduced Christianity to the part of England around Dewsbury. Fittingly enough then, the first part of the name of Dewsbury is usually thought to be derived from Duw (God), and ‘bury’ coming from burg (a hill), in the language of the Christian Britons (Baines, [s.d.]). This is, however, only one of the explanations of the origin of the name, another being that it means fortified place from the Old English deaw ‘dew’ (stream) and burg ‘fort’. QUOTATION William Wordsworth based the following description of the portentous figure of Paulinus on Bede’s account of the man, as witnessed by one baptised by the great Bishop himself: “Mark him, of shoulders curv’d, and stature tall, / Black hair, and vivid eye, and meagre cheek” (Wordsworth, quoted in Greenwood, 2009).

Key points of interest in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Leeds can trace its recorded history to the Early Middle Ages when the Romano-British Kingdom of Elmet was covered by the forest of ‘Loidis’, the origin of the name Leeds (“Leeds”, [s.d.]). Alfred Austin (30 May 1835 – 2 June 1913), Poet Laureate from 1896 until his death in the second decade of the following century, was born in Headingley, near Leeds, on 30 May 1835. His father, Joseph Austin, was a merchant in Leeds. In “To England” he disfavourably comments on the nation of his birth, lamenting the fact that there, unlike in foreign climes, he will find “No soft foam fawning upon smiling strand, / No scent of orange-groves, no zephyrs bland” (“Alfred Austin”.

Key points of interest in Selby, North Yorkshire, England. The name of this parish and market town in the East Riding of Yorkshire first appeared in written form in the early Yorkshire Charters of 1030. The toponym derives from the pre-7th century Old Norse words selja, meaning willow and "-by", a farm or settlement. During the Middle Ages the area was under the control of the Vikings, and fell under the sway of Danelaw. QUOTATION King Henry I was born in Selby in 1068. His mother Matilda was staying at Selby while her husband, King William the Conqueror, was busy subjugating the North. “Henry was a commanding leader, ‘the greatest of kings’, according to the chronicler Orderic Vitalis” (Castor, 2011:39).

Key points of interest in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding, Yorkshire, England. Kingston upon Hull stands on the north bank of the Humber estuary at the mouth of its tributary, the River Hull. In 1293 the town was acquired from the local Cistercian Meaux Abbey by King Edward I, who on 1 April 1299 granted it a royal charter that changed its name from Wyke (from the Scandinavian Vik meaning ‘creek’, or from the Saxon Wic meaning ‘dwelling place’ or ‘refuge’) to King's town upon Hull, or Kingston upon Hull (“Kingston upon Hull”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION Born in Kingston upon Hull on 24 August 1759 into a family that had made its fortune from maritime trade with the Baltic countries, William Wilberforce developed from being a small, sickly and frail child, with poor eyesight into the ardent spearhead of the movement to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire. In a speech before the House of Commons in 18 April 1791, William Wilberforce ([s.d.]) declaimed: “Never, never will we desist till we have wiped away this scandal from the Christian name ... and extinguished every trace of this bloody traffic.” SOURCES “Kingston upon Hull”.

Key points of interest in Garforth, West Yorkshire, England. Of Anglo-Saxon derivation, the name Garforth is a combination of two words meaning 'ford by a triangular piece of land'. The Anglo-Saxons occupied the area after it had been annexed by the Kingdom of Northumbria in AD 617. Archaeological remains from the period suggest that a loosely arranged community lived in houses scattered over the countryside (“Garforth history”, 2006). QUOTATION Having bought Garforth Town Football Club in 2003, English football coach and entrepreneur Simon Clifford made several major changes to uplift their image, followed by a decision to appoint recovering alcoholic Paul Gascoigne as the club's new manager in 2010. Regarding the appointment, Clifford stated: "This is not a publicity stunt. I want him to be an inspiration to someone who might have depression or problems in their lives. He has walked through hell but he has kept on walking." (“Gazza job ‘no stunt’”, 2010). SOURCES “Gazza job ‘no stunt’”. 2010. Evening Standard, 27 September. “Garforth history”. 2006.

Key points of interest in Seamer, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. First referred to in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Semær. the name derives from the Old English sǣ 'lake' and the Old English mere 'sea' and Old Norse marr 'lake, sea, pool'. “Lake by the sea’ is thought to refer to a lake in the areas that has since been drained. QUOTATION Describing the unearthing of what is claimed by archaeologists to be the oldest house (of 8,500 year vintage) in Britain at the Star Carr Mesolithic site in the parish of Seamer in August 2010, Universities Minister David Willetts stated, “This exciting discovery marries world-class research with the lives of our ancestors."

Indian Terms

Key points of interest in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The name Scarborough dates back as far as the time of the Viking invasion of this part of England, with 'borough' deriving from the Viking word 'Borg' meaning 'stronghold', and ‘Scarborough’ meaning ‘Skarthi's stronghold’. According to the 'Kormaksaga', two Viking brothers called Thorgils and Kormak launched marauding parties into the rest of England, as well as into Wales and Ireland from the stronghold that they called Scarborough. Kormak is known to have called his brother 'Skarthi' (meaning 'Hare Lip' in Viking parlance) (Simpson, 2009). QUOTATION Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s song Scarborough Fair, which opens with the lyrics “Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme”, is based on a traditional ballad dating back to the late Middle Ages. The references to the traditional English fair and the one-line herbal refrain date back only to the 19th century, however. The fair came about as a huge 45-day trading event that brought tradespeople from near and far (including from other European states, and even from the Byzantine Empire) to show off their wares.

Key points of interest in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, England. The name ‘Thirsk’ derives from the Viking word Thraesk, meaning ‘lake’ or ‘fen’ (Simpson, 2009). The invigorating air and the fine mineral springs that are situated quite close to the town led to Thirsk becoming well-known as a recreational spot in past centuries. QUOTATION Referring to his childhood home that was ruled over by his veterinary surgeon father, Alf Wight, who became immortalised as the fictional James Herriot in both writing and on TV, James Wight recalls, “Our home in Thirsk was always bulging with books and almost all of them had been read” (Wight, p. 28).

Key points of interest in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, England. The second half of Northallerton’s name is thought either to derive from the name Aelfere, with ‘Aelfereton’ meaning ‘the farm belonging to Aelfere’ or even ‘of King Alfred’ or to have referred to the alder trees that grew in the vicinity. ‘North’ was added to the name in the 12th century to distinguish the town from the parish of Allerton Maulever, which lay several miles southward of the town (“Northallerton”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION Alan Hinkes, OBE, rose from his beginnings in Northallerton to become the first British mountaineer to have claimed ascent of all fourteen mountains, worldwide, with elevations greater than 8000 metres. In Taylor’s (2010) Mail Online report on the intrepid climber, he is reported as saying, “I’m blessed with certain characteristics that make me good at dealing with the cold, the suffering and the danger” (Taylor, 2010).

Key points of interest in Yarm, Stockton-on-Tees, England. Yarm was founded on the banks of the River Tees at Yarm. For many centuries, Yarm was called Yarum, a name deriving from the Anglo-Saxon word Gear (pronounced 'yair'), which meant a pool used for catching fish. The suffix 'um' in the original name ‘Yarum’ indicated the Anglo-Saxon plural, so Yarm means 'fish pools' or 'fish weirs' (Simpson, 2009). QUOTATION The Methodist movement was started by John Wesley and his brother, Charles, in opposition to Calvinism. Preferring to preach indoors, rather than in the open fields, John Wesley set about building a number of chapels all over England. However, Yarm Methodist Church was John Wesley’s favourite chapel. In his journal, he wrote, "I preached ... in the evening in the New House at Yarm, by far the most elegant in England." SOURCES “John Wesley”. [s.d.].

Key points of interest in Thornaby-on-Tees, North Yorkshire, England. Around AD 800 Halfdene (Halfdan Ragnarsson), King of the Danes, gave the land surrounding present-day Thornaby-on-Tees to Thormod, a member of the royal court, resulting in it becoming known as ‘Thormods-by’, meaning the farmstead belonging to Thormod (“Thornaby-on-Tees”, [s.d.]). QUOTATION Grace Pace, who later gave birth to the intrepid explorer Captain James Cook, as well as to six other children, was born in 1692 in Thornaby-on-Tees. Her marriage to the Scottish-born James Cook was marked by an itinerant lifestyle, with her husband moving about the area to find employment on estate farms. Consequently, it is thought that “... James [Cook] must have been reared under conditions which may well have contributed to the remarkable stamina and self-denial which he exhibited, when necessary, throughout his explorations” (Cook, 1971:9).

Key points of interest in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England. Mydilsburgh is the earliest recorded form of the name of this town. The second half of the name, '-burgh', derives from the Old English burh (meaning 'fort') which was the term used for an ancient fort or settlement. Whether Mydil was someone's name or referred to the town being in the middle, between the centres of Durham and Whitby, is unknown (“Middlesbrough”). QUOTATION During Victorian times, young working-class men and women were drawn from all over Great Britain by the number of jobs available in Middlesborough. They cheered when their mayor proudly told the visiting Prince of Wales that the city took pride in the amount of smoke belching out of the numerous factories and foundries, saying “The smoke is an indication of plenty of work ... an indication of prosperous times, an indication that all classes of workpeople are being employed ... Therefore we are proud of our smoke” (Wallach, 2005:5). SOURCES “Middlesbrough”. [s.d.]. Wikipedia. Available: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesbrough [2012, June 30]. Wallach, Janet. 2005.
