Until the disgraceful 1974 County Boundries Act, which took away a lot of our identity, the above was the correct title for Newcastle. Can someone name me the other British cities that had similar titles? I know that Hull was one, but I don't know it's correct title. Liverpool, big city though it is, had no such title. I believe there were 12 cities altogether with a City and County title.

until the disgraceful building of a wall by the 'roman empire' it was still technically a part of scotland
and yes the 74 act was disgraceful as newcastle should have remained part of northumberland
