Yorkshire Maps
Counties have not been marked on maps since the 1970's, when changes to local government took place. Where a county and local government boundary coincided, these were marked as administrative boundaries.
A YRS Map of the Yorkshire Ridings?

The Association of British Counties has produced an excellent digital version showing exactly that relationship. You can see details below.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to tell us what you'd like to see included on a YRS map - towns, major roads, places of interest - please let us know via our email address, comms@yorkshireridingsociety.org.uk or by clicking on the Comments link below.
