County Finder
 The
counties of England, Wales and Scotland were reorganised in 1974
and again in 1998. Many of the boundaries were changed and some
of the counties were renamed or even disappeared from the UK altogether.
So your town may have been in a different county in 1787.
Yorkshire, the largest English county was divided into the North,
East and West Ridings. Due still to the large size of West Riding,
John Cary had to engrave it as two separate maps, i.e. north part
and south part. Cary's map of Wales is also divided into North Wales
and South Wales.
The maps of Scotland and Ireland that we offer are not by John Cary
but are reproduced in the same style of that period.
Only larger towns and cities are listed in our County Finder. It
is not possible to include every village and place name so if you
know the nearest town this should be sufficient. If however you
are still in doubt because the location is very close to the county
boundary, please
with your place of interest and we will inform you of the map which
you require.
