Rotherham near Sheffield - South Yorkshire for now, hoping to make the move later this year or next to Alberta or Ontario, depends on the work situation!

Nottingham as child then 12 years in the Army moving all over the place then Inham Nook, Bolsover, Mansfield, Kirkby in Ashfield, moved South to Woking (Surrey) then Fredericton NB, Canada

So I marked up East Midlands as that was the predominant place of residence.
