Here in Bristol we've got/had several famous landmarks/people and their names are included in company names such as:-

Avon/Severn or Brunel/Cabot this or that.

What about where you live or do you use such a name yourself?

Salisbury Cathedral spire is 404feet high I beleive Graham - that's what Fred Dibnah said on one of his programmes!

Makes Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge at 250ft above the river Avon seem quite low!

Canterbury - my birth town - 58 years ago and I'm still here.  That's not what it's famous for though 

A magnificent Cathderal.  an intact city wall, loads of medieval buildings and look what the Romans did for us etc.

Following the blitz where most of the southern end of the city was destroyed, modern 50s architecture took over - big mistake!  Now most has been demolished and a whole new southern end has been built - extremely tasteful and every fashion shop your wives could ever want.

The home of the 60s band Caravan.  Rupert Bears Mummy was born here (Mary Tourtel).  Christopher Marlowe, Di ckens, Freddy Laker, Uriah Heap.

I could go on .......
