Ah, to clear confusion, here's some bits on Upon: Kingston upon Thames Newcastle upon Tyne Stratford upon Avon Berwick upon Tweed These are all rivers. Here's a cheat sheet to decipher British names: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_forms_in_place_names_in_the_United_Kingdom_and_Ireland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_forms_in_pla... Usually translates to something mundane. Weston literally means "West Town". EDIT: Got confused by parent wording - upon is used for the river but the above comment is correct: Weston super mare means "Weston upon sea", not that upon is reserved for seas
