I forgot to mention the city of my birth, and the most beautiful in the world:

Edinburgh.

However, Edinburgh is not beautiful based on the fact I was born there, I'm on about the architecture and the sheer wonderfulness of the place! I left 27 years ago and I miss it.

Also, The notorious Lord Lucan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_lucan , although it doesn't actually mention it in the wiki, but the title Earl of Lucan is from my town

Obviously Robin Hood, though some would say he is from elsewhere.

Brian Clough - he used to go in the beer off near my friends house!

I think Notts COuntry FC is one of the oldest football clubs

The University of Nottingham

probs other stuff too

my hometown is famous for the ugliness of its buildings, all destroyed during WWII, and thus rebuilt in grey and stuff, very depressing.
It's also famous for its harbour, which is a great place to just walk or watch some beautiful ships anchored there.
Apart from that.. I think it's famous amongst students for the "night life".
People are very lively and friendly, as a girl you can go have a drink in any bar and you won't be bothered, stuff like that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consett

Consett is famous for its steel, which was used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Eiffel Tower.

Rowan Atkinson was born in the same hospital I was born in (Shotley Bridge). quite a few years apart though. :p

Consett is also the 2nd highest market town in Britain (after Alston)

my town is famous for its ghosties hehe, apparently one of the most haunted in the world, and its beautiful bar walls and Minster, also its famous for Dame Judi Dench, who went to school with my mum, my claim to fame

Oh yeah.. I forgot... Consett is the home of Phleas Fogg crisps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phileas_Fogg_snacks

Strangely though, I've never seen a packet of Phileas Fogg crisps anywhere in Consett yet when I've been elsewhere in the country I have seen them!

Urm...I'm struggling to think of anything tamworth is famous for...other than the whole heather tell thing, which is quite depressing...so seeing as i'm half brummie, i'll switch to birmingham

- Home of Birmingham City Football Club - The best team in England! (Well not technically, but i say they are

)
- Ozzy Osbourne was born there
- UB40 (Oh dear..) are from there...
- J.R.R Tolkien was brought up in Birmingham
- It housed the main factory that built spitfires in WW2

Ooooh! I know some (sort of) famous things about tamworth...

- It is one of only two places in britain to have an indoor snow slope...with real snow

and it was the first one in Britain

- Prince Charles visited once...haha

- We have Drayton Manor Theme Park - And apparently shockwave is Europes biggest stand up rollercoaster (although i reckon thats a load of bull cause that means someone had to visit every theme park in Europe!)
