dove holes

i wonder if 4 is a mistake? - thomas a becket became archbishop of canterbury in 1161 after the death of theobald. seems like too much of a coincidence so i think it may be canterbury??

[bellabee]

sorry - canterbury cathedral that should be

[bellabee]

sorry - i see you had already sussed that.

[bellabee]

2 is it beetles or beatles? - either way, if you are right about 4 then you are probably right about mersey too.

hi bellabee , yes its beatles, how'd you work out dove holes, never heard of it ta for all your help

[bellabee]

it's maybe 10 miles from where i live - just before buxton in derbyshire - so not much working out needed if i'm being honest!
