What’s Your City/ Town Famous For

[Bobbisox1]

Make it as cryptic as you want for us to guess , I’ve told you all too much about me to take part so I’ll play ‘guessy ‘ from your descriptions and if nothing else it’ll put CB back on AB for a wee bit

A very famous racing driver lived in my town many moons ago, long gone. There's a local road named after him & the Wetherspoon's which opened here about 18 months ago bares his name too

Thanks for B.A. Bobbisox - I got carried away & waxed lyrical. :)

I missed this post yesterday Bobbi. What a pleasant read through with not a snipe throughout. Good thread. We had a day out in a place with Roman Tombs and an Amphitheatre on display, a famous Clock, and where Welshmen were not allowed between sunset and sunrise.

Togo - Chester!

A battle.

Birthplace of a well known comedian.

Correct JJ109. Strange thing is the Welshman ban was in the 1500s, Tudor period. The Tudors of course being a Welsh royal dynasty.

Mozz71 ? Hastings

The most famous person born in our town was well known for airing her dirty laundry in public.

Buenchico. Just a guess Wymondham.

Moorea7:
Getting Norfolk and Suffolk mixed up is like confusing Yorkshire with Lancashire!

I do have to admit that Wymondham is a lovely town though ;-)

//Mozz71 ? Hastings// Yup, that's my hometown. Not there anymore, but my roots are.

Ah well, map I was looking at said South Norfolk!

My home City has been referenced, although I would have used different clues. The Town that I am now living in boasts a Zoo, a Rugby Stadium that also has an Athletics track and hosts top act pop concerts. A Football stadium, and a Golf course. A superb beach and once hosted an Eisteddfod.

[Buenchico]

Once, Togo?

Colwyn Bay hosted an Eisteddfod twice, in 1910 and 1947. (You can actually make that three times if you include 1941, when the event was held in Old Colwyn).
