Hello, posted part of this last week to no avail. It rumbles on. All lead to a common link and if you can link TGWU to Zeppelin you are a better person than me!

BERMUDA,CALLAGHAN , ZEPPELIN, MAGNOLIA, D DAY, SPANISH ARMADA, PENZANCE,
RORKES DRIFT, KIPLING, PILLBOX, WITCHES, TGWU, COOPER, POIROT, POOH, SMEATON, ROBINSON CRUSOE,ARTHUR,DICKENS, LACE, SHACKLETON, PILGRIMS,
DARWIN,LISTZ, SIR FRANCIS DRAKE, BODLIAN,WILDE, THE WATER BABIES.

Sometimes but by no means always Devon is involved.
Help me get to sleep at night!
Happy quizzing...APW

Previous links have been,
BOND FILM LOCATIONS
ITEMS LEFT ON A BUS

MUSEUMS ETC ETC.
Each answer leads to a common link.
On searching a couple, have found this Villa for 'Crusoe' and Burgh Island for Poirot - unsure whether that is enough to start a trail or not.

Charles Kingsley wrote "The Water Babies" while living in Bideford in North Devon in 1862.
Quite a few of the authors are from Devon. It's driving me nuts. The only (very tenuous) link I can find is a link to the phonteic alphabet (Charlie, Oscar, Zulu, Whisky, India so far) Not sure though
john chard from rorkes drift was born in plymouth
