Cheshire

Cheshire is a county in North West England. Its county town is the city of Chester. It borders onto Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, Merseyside, Flintshire[?], Shropshire and Staffordshire, as well as the unitary authorities of Halton, Wrexham[?] and Warrington.

Some northern parts of the county are effectively suburbs of Manchester or Liverpool, and many of those who work in these cities commute from other parts of the county.
