Thank you. I had Fakenham, but knew it wasn't quite right - Evesham is better. Bolsover - great! Not sure about Tickton - I get the tick bit, but where's the bit for work? And Longford isn't listed as even a town in Wikipedia. I had been searching for Long and a car brand but couldn't find one. But thanks so much everyone!

Beach ditch is a place but not a town.

18 Penistone.

Just 2, 16 and 21 with no answer at all, though I will stick Paignton in for 2 if I don't get anything else, though I am sure that's wrong.
