Sedgley Park and Otley have reached level 2 a couple of decades ago.
Alongside this, Birmingham Solihull, London Welsh, Penzance and Newlyn and maybe Newbury did play at the same time in the league before it was re structured.
Did you mean Launceston?

No. I didn't mean Launceston although they did play at level 2 for about
 1season in around 05/06
Penzance and Newlyn were a  club that I believe reinvented itself as cornish pirates. They had some sort of feeder team who played independently as mounts bay but that club folded . They reached Nat 2 level

Sorry, it was the fact that Penzance & Newlyn are Cornish Pirates that led me to believe you were talking about another club that had played in the old National One and dropped out of the national leagues.

Waterloo were in the top flight for the first two years of league rugby and then at level 2 from 1989-2001.
Rotherham were at L2 from 1995-2018, with the exception of two years in the Prem (2000-01 & 2003-04).

Mounts Bay were a separate club and had no connection with either Cornish Pirates or Penzance& Newlyn RFC, other than an arms length agreement to use the Mennaye pitch for home fixtures. This agreement did not include use of the Pirates’ clubhouse.
They played in what was Level 3(I can’t remember what that league was then called 😒) before their funder encountered enormous business and family problems, and the entity fell apart.
I remember watching them at Waterloo.

Henley also played at Level 2, I think for a couple of seasons. I remember watching the Pirates there (when we were still Penzance & Newlyn) in 2004 or 2005.

They did.  And Bracknell had one year in Nat 1 around 20 years ago.
