Cheers Yorkie. The most southerly was La Rochelle, the most northerly was Hafnafjorour (Akureyrar's territory), and the closest to the Vic. was King's Lynn. What was it ?
 
Nothing right so far. Boston in Lincs. also had this distinction, though Kings Lynn is the only town in England which has a tangible record of it (ie. a building). The name still exists with an East German football club and on car number shields for a couple of German cities.

A Hanseatic warehouse?

You've got it Yorkie. The southernmost city of the Hanseatic League was La Rochelle, and the most northerly was the one in Iceland. The Hanseatic warehouse in Kings Lynn is the only surviving Hanseatic building in England - and Kings Lynn was the closest Hanseatic town to Watford. The other clues referred to FC. Hansa Rostock, and Hamburg and Bremen have number shields beginning with HH and HB respectively (ie. Hansastadt Hamburg). Over to you.
