The poster on the Bumble thread got my thinking about all the famous folks who've had the honour of being born on the right side of the Pennines.
So a quick quiz to test your knowledge of local history, I got 7/10 some are easy, but there's a few tricky ones thrown into the mix.
And yes I had noticed the definition of what constitutes Lancashire is rather broad before anyone else points this out.

And I forgot to guess the Mayflower question. The author was my other mistake.

9. All but the Mayflower.
And I don't see anything broad about the definition of Lancashire. Which ones are inaccurate? The boundary commission may have decided that Liverpool, Manchester, Barrow and Blackpool, among others, have now left Lancashire; but they didn't do it retrospectively.
