| | Ripon - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02) |
 | | The city had a population of 15,922 at the 2001 census, making it the fourth smallest city in England after Wells, Ely and the City of London (in the rest of the United Kingdom, St David's, Bangor, and Armagh are also smaller). |
 | | It is pleasantly situated at the confluence of the streams Laver and Skell with the River Ure, which is crossed by a fine bridge of nine arches. |
 | | Ironically, the city's bypass, completed in the mid 1990s, utilises part of the railway line's course just to the east of the city, and crosses the River Ure just yards from where the railway used to. |
