New York is apparently a hamlet in Lincs, possibly so named because it's close to the original Boston. If I've ever been there I must have blinked and missed it.
(watch this space) - I like it methyl :-) There's also 2 farms near Moscow(Ayrshire) called Upper Rushaw & Lower Rushaw (shaw being the operative word).
I've found it on Google maps and it seems to be basically a crossroads, with a few houses (one called Botany Bay) but no canals and no hash bars, so probably not.
