Have you any idea why so few UK county flags are available ? Or why the only town represented is Hay on Wye ? Hay on Wye is a very small town, now technically within the modern Welsh county of Powys although historically considered as being in the English county of Herefordshire ( Now Hereford and Worcester. ) It is of no significance whatsover except that a book festival is held there.
My own county, Somerset, is not represented but `Wessex` is. Wessex is NOT a county........Wessex doesn`t even exist as it was a Saxon Kingdom that expired around a thousand years ago.
I`ve used the Wessex flag as mid-Somerset falls within its boundairies.......but so did much of the South and West of England.
Every Dutch province is listed, every American State......but less than half of the UK counties....................and bloo*y Hay on Wye !
