Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.
View this post on Instagram Poundland have relaunched their Twin Peaks bar - in its new Toblerone patent friendly design. The small peak is the Ercall and the big peak is the Wrekin - home to Shropshire's TV transmitter! The Wrekin got its name from the old English name for Wroxeter - Wreocan or Wreocansǣtan, nearby. One suggestion for the origin of Wreocan is that it was from Uirocu - man-hound/werewolf. The Roman town of Viriconion Cornoviorum (possibly meaning place of werewolves where the Cornovii tribe live..) latinised the Old English name Wreocan to get its name. It was the fourth largest town in Britain at one time. It is hard to break the bar to get only one peak. #twinpeaksbar #thewrekin #toblerone #viriconium #werewolves A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Nov 2, 2018 at 5:06am PDT
