Rochester Loses City Status Over Error

Corsham in Wiltshire, noted for Georgian architecture, Bath Stone buildings and roaming peacocks, is a frequent filming location for period dramas and was recently named among the South West's top places to live. Rochester in Kent, home to England’s second-oldest cathedral and a 900-year-old Norman castle, was recognised as a city from 1211 but lost its city status in 1998 due to an administrative error discovered in 2002; the town is closely associated with Charles Dickens. Keswick in the Lake District remains a bustling market town and popular base for walkers and climbers, offering boating on Derwentwater, independent shops and a pedestrianised Market Square centred on the Moot Hall. A neighbourhood essay recounts harvesting lemongrass to share with a neighbour and reflective walks that use local trees to teach gratitude and appreciate green surroundings. At the University of Kansas, officials confirmed plans to demolish the Sunflower Apartments at 11th and Missouri to create an approximately 300-space parking lot north of 11th Street to serve the renovated football stadium and a planned conference centre, a proposal that has raised local concerns about the Gateway Project's impact on nearby residential neighbourhoods.
