Lancashire is a county in North West England, bounded to the
west by the Irish Sea. It takes its name from the city of Lancaster
and is sometimes known as the County of Lancaster. Its county
council is based at Preston. Commonly, Lancashire is referred
to by the abbreviation Lancs, originally used by the Royal Mail.
People from the county are known as Lancastrians.
The county was subject to a significant boundary change in 1974;
which removed Liverpool and most of Manchester with most of their
surrounding conurbations to form part of the new counties of Merseyside
and Greater Manchester. The Duchy of Lancaster exercises the right
of the Crown in the area known as the County Palatine of Lancaster.
