46 potto, northallerton

[mrkester]

63. York? only due to New York being The Big Apple

[EllyD]

51 A stab in the dark, not really convinced but what about Corby ( Corps-be.)

[Big Jenny]

Can you explain, mrkester, how you get the answer to no. 46 Preston's transport home?
Not disputing it - just like to see how you arrive at it.
Thanks.

Re 46 Potto is the village where the well known haulage firm of Preston's have their headquarters. Travel down the A1 and you will see any number of their vehicles

[mrkester]

thanks Minoru.

i used to drive for them, Big Jenny

[Big Jenny]

Many thanks, mrkester and Minoru - now I know.

Many thanks to all of you, would never have got Potto! not sure of York though as I've already got that for another answer.

[Whitep]

58 is a Womble, therefore Wimbledon

[bookwormer]

58. I didn't know this one before I saw Whitep's posting, but Googling came up with it being a description of Wellington Womble. So Wellington seems like a possible alternative answer to Wimbledon.

Fantastic, juliefer, many thanks!
