Bit of a dispute as to where William landed; it was actually nearer Pevensey - Norman's Bay in fact.
So I think it could be a Wallace reference.

Was just about to ask the same.
How many haven't you got answers for, Cagney?


Keep that atlas handy, Gecko!

Not forged land (9) is the last one I have to get

Is the 'forge' bit something to do with:

furnace
hearth
smithy
metal.....????


I think I'll sit in the corner and wait for Gecko to give us the answer.

I can't stop thinking 'Sheffield' but that isn't right.

We have until 11pm until OH gets home. If I don't have it by then I'm making it up

Thanks everyone for your help

Something to do with 'cast' ie. not 'forged'?'

Found this (from Wiki so it could be tosh):

The name Sheffield is Old English in origin.[22] It derives from the River Sheaf, whose name is a corruption of shed or sheth, meaning to divide or separate.[23] Field is a generic suffix deriving from the Old English feld, meaning a forest clearing.[24] It is likely then that the origin of the present-day city of Sheffield is an Anglo-Saxon settlement in a clearing beside the confluence of the rivers Sheaf and Don founded sometime between the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in this region (roughly the 6th century) and the early 9th century.[1]


I think you're in the right ballpark

When I'm not ferociously googling, I'm in the numpty corner sucking my thumb!

I was thinking something that started with 'cast' instead, like 'casterbridge' but I can't think of anywhere else...

But someone else mentioned 'real' - maybe a synonym of that as well?

I like the Sheffield one but Sheffield is more famous for it's forged steel isn't it? I might well be wrong. The let's holiday UK maybe suggests that it's holiday resorts as well and no offence to Sheffield and I have been there a few times, but I wouldn't choose it as my holiday spot

It has the Crucible where snooker is played.

Sorry, been having dinner as well as reading atlas.

Whoever said 'cast' is just the word i was looking for.

All the Castle____ are 10 letters

Castleton is the only one word of 9 letters.

Or you have Casterton.

try googling pub quiz or trivia quiz questions

Will I post my answers so you can all have a laugh and tell me how wrong I am?

That's far too intelekshul

I was only thinking as far as steel, foundry, forge.
