Places

Introduction

On this website, places appear under one of the five counties that historically has formed the West Midlands before changes to administrative boundaries, particularly prior to local government re-organisations from 1974 onwards. These counties are Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
