The first time I visited the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington in North Yorkshire I got talking to a few of the staff there who picked up on my Anglo-Australian accent. But they could not believe that my Uncle Irwin (Perry) flew Handley Page Halifaxes from there during WW2 was actually Welsh.
So I taught them how to spell LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLIOGOGICHWYRYNDROBWLLLANTISILIOGOGOGOCH correctly just to be on the safe side! In return I was taken behind the scenes and even into the museum's records room and allowed to sign a special guestbook which is never seen by the public. A little emotional but nevertheless utterly amazing.
My guess at Northumberland Town Names as posted by Neil above:
Ulgham
Blyth
Alnwick
Howick
Dyke Nyeuk
Ullam
Bleeth
Annek
Hoyk
Denuik
Part 2: Dunno I'll think of a prize if anyone can guess how these English towns and villages are pronounced.
Bamber Bridge
Slaithwaite
Mousehole
Wednesbury
Haverfordwest
