Led Zeppelin - Bron Yr Aur Stomp

View: https://youtu.be/_PFmGicOEeY?si=3Dzatn5y2AX6wu7F

A former colleague lived just "over the bridge" in Chepstow, and when her kids were little they went to some kind of community organised playgroup. Some paperwork had to be dealt with and one of the trustees was listed as a certain Robert Plant, who'd long since moved away. Turned out it really was the actual Robert Plant of Led Zepp who'd been on the committee etc when he lived nearby and his own kids were little and were part of the playgroup. I think the Bron yr Aur of thr song is in the vicinity isn't it?

So, there’s a New York In Lincolnshire (and likely elsewhere too) but there’s also York.

And anything by Boston.

Late to the game and snatching a few seconds between watching rugby and cooking a humdinger of a paella, I haven't checked, and apologies to the entries I still have to award likes, but I'm prepared to guess this hasn't featured yet. The lovely Bridget St John with Sparrowpit.
A tiny village between Chapel-en-le-Frith and Peak Forest, where nobody had heard of her when I asked in the local pub a year or so ago, despite her having lived there. I had to threaten some noisy students with physical violence if they didn't STFU when she was performing in the students union at Manchester University in about '72 - she was too polite, but appreciative of my intervention.

The Fall - Victoria
Technically a station name rather than a place name, but the station has now given its name to the surrounding area.

I stand corrected, and assumed it must be near
