OT..help with a quiz

Topics

Cagney

My OH picked up a quiz sheet from a service station and I need help with some of the answers before he gets home.

It's all holiday places in the UK. eg..Lighter town (8) - Brighton

The answers I can't get are..
Almost there (4,8)
Buy your oysters here (10)
Billy started here (8)
Not forged land (9)
Metal orifice (10)
Hide your paw (7)
Alongside X (5)
Dreamy spires (6)
Tea at Bettys (9)

I love these types of quizzes and he says there is no way I'll get them all. There are 50 places and I only need 9

HELP...please

They make metal in Scunhorpe but I don't think that it is a popular resort as such..
