I think TK,s missing answer to River Seven is situated in the North Yorkshire Moors my other different answers are there are 2 answers to Question 6 they are Humber and Sheaf, also I think the Welland starts at Market Deeping.

6) What river runs through Kingston Upon Hull?

CWH I was asked this question at a quiz the other night.
The answer is in the question; it is the River Hull. Apparently the football ground is one side of the river and the rugby ground the other.
I got it wrong;I said the Humber

The Seven is in North Yorkshire.
Strangely enough the River Welland rises in Northamptonshire, the nearest place is Sibbertoft not far from the Leics border.

The river Granta rises just north of Stanstead and joins with the river Rhee just outside cambridge to form the river Cam.
