What's in a Name?

Do they still make Eccles cakes in Eccles and Bakewell tarts in Bakewell? How about all the other products named after places in the British Isles? Many of these are things you can eat: Arbroath Smokies and Melton Mowbray pork pies, for example, but there are also non-edible, manufactured, goods such as Harris tweed and BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) motor bikes. There are many places famous for a tune, a poem, or a game, such as Adelstrop, Badminton and Rugby. This book explores the origins and history of these products and their link with the place which has given them a name. It takes you on a journey around England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland to those places where the hard work and ingenuity of local people have made the name of their home famous across the world.
