Radcliffe was a town in Northumberland just south of Amble.

Its War Memorial was relocated to Amble’s War Memorial garden in the 1970s when the former mining town was demolished and its residents moved to Amble.

Amble is a town at the mouth of the River Coquet (pronounced to rhyme with croquet) in Northumberland.

It can be seen from the top of Warkworth Castle:-

Swarthmoor is a village/hamlet between Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston. Its War Memorial (for the Parish of Pennington,) in the form of a simple stone cross, is at the southern end of the village.

Regular readers will know of my interest in the Great War.

As a result I could not resist the opportunity to request a book with the title No Man’s Land from ParSec’s latest list for review.

It is written by Richard Morgan, whose work from Altered Carbon onwards I have usually find very good.

From the ARC’s blurb it would appear that this book does indeed take the Great War as its starting point, but being a fantasy will no doubt diverge from there quite quickly.

Barrow’s War Memorial is a cenotaph standing on a hill in Barrow Park.
