Lancashire runs up the English west coast from the Mersey north to Morecambe Bay with a further part north of the sands at Furness. Lancashire was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, its cotton mills supplying the Empire and the World.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-08. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Huntingdonshire as follows: One of the smallest of the counties, Huntingdonshire is a county of pretty little villages, with no major towns until the Peterborough suburbs at the county's northern fringe. It lies between Cambridgeshire to the east and Northamptonshire and Bedforshire on the west. Huntingdonshire is roughly rhomboid in shape, centered on Huntingdon, and the meeting of the Great North Road (now the A1) and the route from east coast to the Midland towns, now the A14. The four towns of Huntingdonshire are St Neots, St Ives, Ramsey and Huntingdon itself; three mediæval abbey towns and the fortress of the Ouse. Huntingdonshire is almost entirely flat. The south of the county is a network of villages surrounded by mixed farming. North of Huntingdon the land lies within the Great Fen, long since drained and converted into broad, fertile arable fields. Much of …3 KB (473 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
