Can you name the 200 largest settlements in Northern England*?

I can tell some of you are bored, so here's a quiz to amuse you, and test your local knowledge :)

Some of the larger ones will be obvious, but as you work through the list it'll no doubt get more difficult.

97. Average. Missed some obvious ones too. Missed a lot of the outlying areas of Manchester and a few obvious Lancashire ones including Fleetwood.

"largest settlements in Northern England"????

Didn't William the Conker get all this stuff down in a ruddy big book so we didn't have to?

Enjoyed that, I got 104 but my travelling to u23 and reserve team games over the years was a great help

Coincidentally, I got to handle one of the rare Domesday Book copies yesterday. It is actually in 2 volumes. There are a further 2 books with the contents translated to English.

I am designing a 4 floor Museum and it will also hold a rare copy of the Bayeux Tapestry. Can't say where it is yet but it's not far from Burnley. It should open in Easter.
