I don't know the locations in the new production of Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly, but in the BBC production they used National Trust houses:\n\n"Pemberley" (Darcy's house) was a place called "Lyme Park"\n"Netherfield" (Bingley's house) was a house called "Edgecote Hall"\nand "Longbourne" (The Bennet Family) was a place called "Luckington Court"

I live in Pennsylvania.\n\nI always thought that the Hatfields and McCoys were the real names of the Capulet and the Montague families...LOL\n\n*NOTE*\nIf you actually understand the Shakespearean reference in my answer, you are probably WAY TOO SMART to be hanging around Yahoo!

Jan Luthman lives in England and writes about money matters: investments. But he tells childrens' stories as a hobby. He spent many years overseas with his wife, Jill, living in Africa and the Middle East, and then he returned to England and settled in the Old Farmhouse in a small village in the county of East Sussex in South East England.

The following is a Gaslight etext.... \n  A message to you about copyright and permissions \n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n\n\nTHE THREE STRANGERS\nfrom _Wessex tales_ (1903 ed.)\nLondon\nMacMillan and Co., Limited\nNew York: The MacMillan Company\n\n\nby Thomas Hardy\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAMONG the few features of agricultural England which retain an appearance but little modified by the lapse of centuries, may be reckoned the high, grassy and furzy downs, coombs, or ewe-leases, as they are indifferently called, that fill a large area of certain counties in the south and south-west. If any mark of human occupation is met with hereon, it usually takes the form of the solitary cottage of some shepherd. \n\n  Fifty years ago such a lonely cottage stood on such a down, and may possibly be standing there now. In spite of its loneliness, however, the spot, by actual measurement, was not more than five miles from a county-town. Yet that affected it little. Five miles of irregular upland, during the long inimical seasons, with their sleets, snows, rains, and mists, afford withdrawing space enough to isolate a Timon or a Nebuchadnezzar; much less, in fair weather, to please that less repellent tribe, the poets, philosophers, artists, and others who 'conceive and meditate of pleasant things.' \n\n  Some old earthen camp or barrow, some clump of trees, at least some starved fragment of ancient hedge is usually taken advantage of in the erection of these forlorn dwellings. But, in the present case, such a kind of shelter had been disregarded. Higher Crowstairs, as the house was called, stood quite detached and undefended. The only reason for its precise situation seemed to be the crossing of two footpaths at right angles hard by, which may have crossed there and thus for a good five hundred years. Hence the house was exposed to the elements on all sides. But, though the wind up here blew unmistakably when it did blow, and the rain hit hard whenever it fell, the various weathers of the winter season were not quite so formidable on the coomb as they were imagined to be by dwellers on low ground. The raw rimes were not so pernicious as in the hollows, and the frosts were scarcely so severe. When the shepherd and his family who tenanted the house were pitied for their sufferings from the exposure, they said that upon the whole they were less inconvenienced by 'wuzzes and flames' (hoarses and phlegms) than when they had lived by the stream of a snug neighbouring valley. \n\n  The night of March 28, 182-, was precisely one of the nights that were wont to call forth these expressions of commiseration. The level rainstorm smote walls, slopes, and hedges like the clothyard shafts of Senlac and Crecy. Such sheep and outdoor animals as had no shelter stood with their buttocks to the winds; while the tails of little birds trying to roost on some scraggy thorn were blown inside-out like umbrellas. The gable-end of the cottage was stained with wet, and the eavesdroppings flapped against the wall. Yet never was commiseration for the shepherd more misplaced. For that cheerful rustic was entertaining a large party in glorification of the christening of his second girl. \n\n  The guests had arrived before the rain began to fall, and they were all now assembled in the chief or living room of the dwelling. A glance into the apartment at eight o'clock on this eventful evening would have resulted in the opinion that it was as cosy and comfortable a nook as could be wished for in boisterous weather. The calling of its inhabitant was proclaimed by a number of highly-polished sheep-crooks without stems that were hung ornamentally over the fireplace, the curl of each shining crook varying from the antiquated type engraved in the patriarchal pictures of old family Bibles to the most approved fashion of the last local sh

Not sure, but he grew up in South Africa before moving to Great Britain as a young adult, so probably in South Africa.

They r called Geordies, and not Jordies. \n In any city or region that has a long history, its people attains a distinct identity. There are the cockneys of London; the Liverpudlians (Scousers) of Liverpool and the Mancunians (Mancs) of Manchester. And so it is with the North-East of England, but its a little more complicated than that.\nGeordie' is used to refer to the inhabitants of an area stretching from Carlisle to Durham.

Shakespeare is supposed to have written Romeo and Juliet around 1596 in England. I am no expert in this but the story seems to evolve during this 15th-16th century era in Verona, Italy

I agree with the earlier answers.   However, if you wish to know more then click on the link below.   I actually live in Plymouth, Devon, which is where the Pilgrim Fathers left the UK for America.   Interesting stuff but very commercialised these days (as are most American celebrations).

In the 1580s, the British established two colonies in North Carolina, both of which failed.\n\nThe first permanent English settlers in North Carolina were immigrants from the tidewater area of southeastern Virginia. The first of these "overflow" settlers moved into the Albemarle area of northeast North Carolina around 1650
