Bermuda is in England

A post to the Power Banks thread in Community subforum revealed that, yes, indeed Bermuda is in England.

(RS Components) Opened a big distribution centre at Bermuda (south edge of Nuneaton).

I checked on RISCOSM to find it there. So you learn something new everyday! According to Wikipedia, it was named for a former Governor of Bermuda in the 19th century.
So now Brits can holiday in Bermuda without breaking the coronavirus rules. Must be a complete contrast to Nuneaton. :-)

Ah, now, that Bermuda is named after the more famous one. I also know of places in England called Moscow, Egypt and California that are all named after the more famous ones.

On the other hand, the original Houston is in Scotland, and the original Adelaide, Melbourne and Washington are all in England. At least New York and New Hampshire admit their unoriginality.

Must be a complete contrast to Nuneaton. :-)

Roughly halfway from Nuneaton centre to Bedworth¹ centre. The pub I pointed out is probably the highlight. Trip Advisor has a list of places in Bedworth, topped by Miners Welfare Park and item 8 of 11 is A2B Taxis.
Nuneaton displays more suggestion of life – until you realise that many of the places are out of Nuneaton e.g. both listed² breweries are actually in neighbouring villages.

Bedworth definitely qualifies for mention in this forum.

¹ Colloquially known as “Beduff”

In Kent there are 2 towns one called Sandwich and another called Ham

Their are signpost with Ham Sandwich on them.

Sandwich as in the meal is named after The Earl of Sandwich who was an avid gambler who would have his meals served between 2 slices of bread so he could eat and caryy on gambling.

Barcelona is in Cornwall about 4 kilometres West of Looe. So, another place Brits can go on holiday without breaking the coronavirus rules.

You could also go to California – just up the coast from Great Yarmouth.

Many years ago I received as a birthday present The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names, by Eilert Ekwall (4-th edition). It does not mention Barcelona, I regret to say, despite the Carthaginian origins of that name. What I found very striking from the dictionary was how many place-names which are now identical were once different. For example, Great and Little Givendale in the East Riding of Yorkshire comes from Giveldal (valley of the river Gifl), whereas Givendale in the West Riding of Yorkshire comes from Gydhlingdal (valley of Gydhla’s people). A village down the road from me, Swanborough, has nothing to do with swans but swains (young men).

You could also go to California – just up the coast from Great Yarmouth.

and on the same side of the country as Boston

The Boston in question being the original Boston, whereas I think the California is named after the more famous one.

At our son’s home in Cambridgeshire – that used to be ours – I have a somewhat battered copy of Bartholomew’s Gazetteer of the British Isles. Don’t remember what its publication date is, but either early 20th century or late 19th. I spotted it for 10/- in a secondhand bookshop in Windermere about 60 years ago, already battered. I only had 5/- on me, and rather than lending me the other 5/- my Dad shared the purchase with me, so it belonged to us equally until he died (in 1993). It’s a huge tome. If I remember when I finally retrieve it, I’ll look some of these up. It gives all kinds of interesting information!

And for our German friends here is one the other way round:
Westerham is in Bavaria.

I first came across this when I was travelling by train on the Holzkirchen-Rosenheim railway line when we passed through or stopped at Westerham station. It’s about 33km as the crow flies SW of Munich.

In fact, according to RISCOSM, there are several Westerhams in Germany, all in Bavaria. Before anyone says it, the name probably originates from German. But why are they all in Bavaria? And, before you say it, I am not counting the one ending double m somewhere else in Germany.
