Quick geography quiz ahead of Cheltenham... 10:00 - Apr 10 with 1069 views

*Historic* Counties of English Towns & Cities

I’ve made one more quiz for now if anybody would like a go. Six minutes to try and get all 20 answers, and each answer is used once. Abbreviations are accepted for about half of the counties. If you are unsure of a particular answer, you can move on to another by selecting a different highlighted box. One of the answers would probably be among the most difficult for a lot of people but it may be less so for those on here as it’s closer to home.

Thanks very much for having a look and here’s hoping we make some more history today. ðŸ”µâšªï¸

17/20 completely undone by a couple I should have known!
Thanks for posting.

	It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
Poll:	Which recent triallist should we have signed?

19/20 Thanks, Miaow.

Peterborough surprises me, although I expect you're right. I tried Soke of Peterborough and Cambridgeshire.

Thank you for your comments. Those are some excellent scores!

The Soke of Peterborough is a bit of oddity and it seems that it was, for a time, treated as its own county in a way, although I think the area of Peterborough to the north of the River Nene falls within the historic boundaries of Northants. Apparently, it merged with Huntingdonshire to form the short-lived county of "Huntingdon and Peterborough" between 1965 and 1974.

20/20. Good test as so many now are in a different county.
I guess Gorleston was given a free transfer to Norfolk ;)

That may be the hardest one on there, with the exception of Gorleston for those who are unfamiliar with the area. I'm not sure if I'd heard of Sedbergh before making the quiz, and I certainly learnt one or two things in doing so. The area around Sedbergh was one of those places which were brought together to form Cumbria about fifty years ago.

Brilliant, well done!

They are all in different counties these days - their ceremonial counties are all different to their historic counties. Hopton is another place that was in Suffolk but is now in Norfolk.
