Either Rich has an incredibly extensive and methodical memory or he's been web-surfing for those names! Good research tho fella, V Funny 😀
Some of them I knew, some of them I googled for 🙂 half and half, glad you all enjoyed reading them!

We have the....
Iron Knob in South Australia.
middle wallop, im sure i drove past a sign for that place the other week when i was coming back from hampshire so its either in hampshire wiltshire or somerset but i think its wiltshire/hampshire end of the a303.
may i say you have a place listed in avon and im from somerset and avon as a county is non-existant now for a good 7yrs and was divided up into wiltshire, glous, and north somerset and bristol become a city in its own right again altho i think some places are still listing places that were in avon still in avon.
