All right, so where've I missed out?

Now I know where they have New Jersey from. Why didn't the US-people also call it New Boston. That is very confusing when you talk about Boston meaning UK or USA.

Oxford. Christchurch. Suffolk. Norfolk. Reading. Salisbury. Bristol. Manchester. Portsmouth. Bath. I'd be surprised if any medium or larger town didn't have at least one overseas reimplementation.

Quite possibly not, but I was limiting myself to places well-enough known that I'd heard of them, and expected others to—which does not apply to any of the above except Christchurch (which I was dithering on), and Norfolk, which slipped through the net; I shall add them now. Where are the others?

Wikipedia thinks that the Christchurch label, if anywhere on your map, ought to be over Oxford.

It's mislabeled. As you well know, it should read, The House.

(I was there for a year, remember!) ;-P

Most of those came from looking at the NE coast of the USA on google maps l-)

England; Scotia; Britian; Ireland; London; Brighton (many).

There is a Texas somewhere near Newcastle if memory serves me right.

Where? I've never heard of it!
