Brief History
A Pictish word meaning wood/copse is where Perth’s name cameform. The place was initially known as St John’s Toun or Saint Johnstoun because of the church honouring St John the Baptist which can be found in the parish’s centre. This name was known until the mid-1600s. The wider area was called Perthia which then became Perth Shyre.
There are retrieved and recorded evidence from the area that supports the claim that early settlements have existed in Perth. They believe that these people were Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Farming was then introduced during 4000 BC.
Perth’s importance resulted from the presence of Scone. The royal court’s frequent residence made Perth Scotland’s effective capital. After some time, King William the Lion gave the city a Royal Burgh status in the 12th century.
Perth was a rich trading burgh in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some goods were traded with France.
However, in 1209, a flood destroyed the royal castle. This has greatly affected Perth. The castle was never rebuilt, leaving Perth protected only with an inventive water system and partial walls.
In 1296, King Edward I brought his armies to the city. The city fell this time, and the English immediately implemented stronger fortifications. In 1312, Robert the Bruce recaptured Perth.
The assassination of King James I of Scotland also happened in Perth in 1437. Scone Abbey was sacked in 1559. Presbyterianism remained strong in the city even when Marie de Guise and her daughter Mary, Queen of Scots successfully stopped the riot happening that time.
Perth Academy was founded in 1760. When it comes to exportation, more gods were included, and the major exports include linen, whisky, bleached products, and linen.
Perth had its first railway in 1848. Electric trams also shortly replaced horse-drawn carriages which were popular in the 1890s.

Brief History
The townof South Shields was formerly a Roman fortification site and a Saxon religious community. For the more significant part of its set of experiences, South Shields was a fishing town with the Priors of Durham Cathedral cloister. South Shields, a port in Roman occasions, was an appropriate site for a middle-age port. Yet, Newcastle legitimately asserted control of exchange on the Tyne and was defensive of its status as Tyneside's principal port. During George, the third's rule, South Shields, with its tiny church committed to St Hilda, was still minimal more than a long thin road or track running close by the Tyne. The road was abutted by an assortment of paths and side streets and was lined by slopes of weight made by the offloading of visiting ships. South Shields required significant changes to adapt to its consistent modern development and exchange.

Brief History
Southampton was a former Saxon settlement and was used as a port to import and export suitable over the county. The town's Saxon population was already huge, and the buildings in the city were constructed by wood. The town had its fair share of blacksmiths, carpenters, leather workers, and thatcher’s. However, the primary industry in the town was wool. Medieval Southampton proliferated and became home to bakers, butchers, and cooks. Southampton Castle was first built out of wood by the Normans but then was rebuilt using stone. Southampton was imported fine wine from countries such as France and Spain. The town held annual fairs and markets that lasted up to a week, bringing in crowds from all over the country. In the late Middle Ages, the flourishing of the town primarily relied upon exchange with the Italians. From the mid-fourteenth century, they brought extravagances like flavours, fragrance, and silk to Southampton.

Brief History
Newbury is found to have a Mesolithic settlement. In 1963, artefacts were unearthed from the Greenham Dairy Farm, and in 2002, some other artefacts were found at the Faraday Road site.
After the Norman conquest as a new borough, Newbury was established. This happened in the late 11th century. Newbury was referenced in the Domesday Survey but there was no name for it.
The existence of Newbury Castle was doubted, but there were royal connections in town, and King John and Henry III visited Newbury while hunting.
The Newbury Bridge was reconstructed a few times. It was said to be reconstructed in the 14th century, collapsing by 1623 and built again by 1644.
The cloth trade served as the foundation of Newbury’s economy. This can be seen in the cloth magnate Jack of Newbury. Jack is believed to have the first factory in England. He was also believed to have something to do with the Newbury Coat.
When the English Civil War happened, two battles were held in Newbury. The battles happened in 1643 and 1644, respectively. After the second battle, ruins were the only ones left of the Donnington Castle.
The civil war is an important time when talking about Newbury’s history. Trade was disrupted, the local cloth trade collapsed and Newbury was overall disadvantaged. The economy was only able to rise up once again in the 18th century when Bath became a famous summer destination of wealthy people.
There were inns and theatres constructed in Newbury to give visitors some place to visit in the area. Newbury is between Bath and London, so a lot of tourists stop over at this place during their journey.
In 1810, the Kennet and Avon Canal was completed. This route extended Bath to the Kennet Navigation. As a result, there was a water route between Bristol and London via Newbury.
However, when the Great Western Railway opened in 1841, the coaching trades and the canal were killed. It was only six years later when Newbury was able to join the railway network. Since then, Newbury’s economy was majorly based on horse-racing and agriculture. It became a backwater market town.
