Where does the Midlands end?
Jump to: Newest in thread
As a proud northerner, when I am looking at local ladies, I see lasses from the “Midlands” as near 35 miles away. This is impossible as I am in North Yorkshire. Now you can call me a pedantic git, but where for you does the midlands end and the north start?
This is just a fun minor debate. Nothing serious by the way. |

Difficult one to call, I live in Northamptonshire which in most books is in the East Midlands but Fab have us in the West Midlands, added to which the Fab distance chart is in need of an overhaul.
In answer to your question if you are a Southerner then anything north of Watford makes you a Northerner  |

It is an established fact that everything outside London, is not in the UK.
We are all northern monkeys to cockneys even if you live on the south coast.
The fab regional system is rather mental. OP next time you are on the road use the 'who is near me' function and see where it puts you. If you find yourself listed as being in Mordor then welcome to Wales  |

According to Wikipedia these counties are the Midlands:
Derbyshire
Leicestershire
Northamptonshire
Herefordshire
Lincolnshire
Nottinghamshire
Rutland
Shropshire
Staffordshire
Warwickshire
Worcestershire
So anything south of this block is The South, north is The North and west is Wales.

It might have done. I was probably thinking more NE than E. I blame the E/W slant England seems to have. |

Yes I,d agree the Midlands ends where south yorkshire begins If you were to watch midlands today on tv derbyshire would come under the east midlands but I,ve also seen them come under the north midlands thou I,d suggest the further north you live in derbyshire the more you,d come under the north midlands say from the peak district up. |

Stoke in the North
Rugby in the South
Welsh border West
Grantham in the East
Imagine a box drawn between those points..."
Something like that , Sheffield/chesterfield, Grantham/Lincoln, Peterborough , Worcester, Bedford |

It's a bit like those adverts for mobile phone network coverage '99% of the UK' etc, it depends how the people move. Realistically, Near Derby is a good start as Chesterfield has good northern credentials, as have some parts of Staffordshire.Mercia was a leading kingdom and I think the language/accent was adopted as standard English. It befits the centre of the country, the Midlands.
South is the lower Midlands. |

I’m from hereford
We’re supposed to be West Midlands
But feel more West Country
In answer to your point Derbyshire is in midlands
Staffs is Midlands
But further north isn’t
