Dont forget Saddleworth as part of the Oldham council which was formerly part of the dreadful and thankfully deceased Greater Manchester. By the way its Sedbergh and of course Sedbergh and the lovely Dentdale in its entirety have services provided by Cumbria. I prefer not to say they are part of Cumbria. Same for all the other places mentioned. By the way Middlesbrough, Redcar, Saltburn, Yarm Thornaby etc from the equally dreadul Cleveland County, again thankfully deceased, have their own distritc councils and areconsiderd to be ceremonially part of north Yorkshire County Counci, a curious onel.

I agree and have a map published as a replica of the Doomsday book to show to Lancastrians I come across. Strangely they do not seem interested or convinced.

Actually, going back further to before Doomsday, Yorkshire’s boundary went from the east coast to the west coast and what we now call Lancashire was just part of Yorkshire! I think that probably too much time has passed, too many roses matches have been played and too many references to the wars of the roses have been heard to expect those we now call Lancastrians to have the faintest remnants of Yorkshire patriotism but if any do, I would accept them on that basis. As for those that do not, the majority I anticipate, we should costantly remind them that there county was born of ours!

The county though did gain small areas of land in the south from Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
