Linton-on-Swale

This place is shown in the table, along with Easingwold, as having a YO61 postcode. I'd be interested to know if it actually exists. Here's what I've found:

A Google search only comes up with stuff like business directories ("Escort agencies in Linton-on-Swale"!) that produce no results, or else lists derived from WP
It's not shown in List_of_United_Kingdom_locations:_Lf-Litm#Lin
River Swale doesn't list it. The YO61 villages and hamlets that are listed there are Cundall, Fawdington, Brafferton, North Yorkshire, Helperby and Myton-on-Swale. Places further north are in YO7 (Thirsk).
There's no sign of it on my Landranger 99 (Northallerton and Ripon) 1:50,000 OS map

My guess is that it doesn't exist and is some sort of conflation of Linton-on-Ouse and Myton-on-Swale. --GuillaumeTell 17:50, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
