Moustier sur sambre. Home to a glass factory. Nothing there. The Walloon region was real rich in 20th century with coal glass and sidérurgy and the Sambre - a good river to bring in the raw materials. I guess the names were the same. A ^ is often an old ´ s that disappeared.

Cheltenham - A rather grand spa town in Gloucs. England with some lovely regency buildings. (Lewis Carroll was a regular visitor to a house here owned by Alice Liddell's grandparents, it still contains the mirror that was the inspiration for Carroll's novel Through the Looking-Glass. Also home to a rather famous horse racing festival.)
