Rotherham, Middlesbrough, Hastings, Northampton, and Watford are not cities; they are towns, like Reading. Also, Silverstone Circuit is located on the border of the counties of Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire - it is definitely not in the town of Northampton.

"This city's cathedral..." not "cities".
