Creator here: thanks Max for posting this. I created this after driving around the UK a lot and marvelling at the variety of places. I wanted a fast-feedback way to explore patterns.

Thoughts and feedback welcome!

(my main is blocked by 100000000 second noprocrast, does anyone know how to fix this?)

Cool site.

Minor potential bug report:

searching for "Knock$" returns three places called "Knock" but the red dot map highlight only highlights one of them, no matter which you hover on.

Towns ending "-by" and "-thorp(e)" seem to be quite clustered in geographical location.

And the division betwene "kirk" and "church" in names is suprisingly stark.
