Hotham (now North Melbourne), Victoria, Australia
North Melbourne is a large inner city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia , 2 km north-west from Melbourne's central business district.
Formerly known as Hotham, it was a working-class area, and was one of the first towns in Victoria to be granted municipal status.
History:
North Melbourne's first institutions were built in the 1840s, beginning with a cattle yard. At this time, the area was not well-defined, and included Parkville and Royal Park as part of West Melbourne.
In the 1850s, a Benevolent Asylum was built between Abbotsford and Curzon Streets, coinciding with the desire to find space to accommodate the growing population from the gold rush. In 1859, the area was named Hotham borough, after the governor of Victoria, Charles Hotham. Hotham Post Office opened on 20 March 1860.
By 1861, Hotham had a population of over 7,000.
On 26 August 1887, the borough was renamed North Melbourne Town, after the completion of the imposing North Melbourne Town Hall, and the Metropolitan Meat Market.
During the 1880s, it had become a predominantly working-class area, with most of the male population employed in local industry.
In the 1890s, tram routes had entered the area as far as Abbotsford Street, walking distance from the Arden Street Oval .
In the 1930s many areas of North Melbourne, in particular the laneways, became overcrowded and defined as slums. As such, large government housing development projects were proposed, which were eventually completed in the 1960s.

Hoylake is a seaside town on the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside, England. It's located at the north western corner of the peninsula, near to the town of West Kirby, and where the River Dee meets the Irish Sea.
The township of Hoose was part of the West Kirby Parish, Wirral Hundred. It became part of Hoylake cum West Kirby civil parish in 1894.
Hoylake had its own urban district council and mayor until 1 April 1974, when it was absorbed into the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Wirral when local government reorganisation took place across the UK. At that point, Hoylake ceased to be in Cheshire, and became part of the nascent county of Merseyside. This didn't please some Wirral residents, who have since campaigned unsuccessfully for a return to Cheshire, although some have been mollified by the more recent change in postcode district, from L47 to CH47.

The Isle of Wight, known to the ancient Romans as Vectis, is a county and the largest island of England, located in the English Channel, on average about 3 to 5 mi (5 to 8 km) off the coast of Hampshire, separated from Great Britain (referred to by its residents as "the Mainland") by a strait called the Solent. It has the distinction of being England's smallest county - but for only half of the time. It has been calculated that during high tide, Wight's area is slightly less than that of Rutland, but not during low tide.
Its rich history includes a brief status as an independent kingdom in the 15th century. Until 1995, like Jersey and Guernsey, the island had a Governor.
The Isle of Wight was part of Hampshire, until 1890 when it became an independent administrative county.
