England

 * Cumberland - no problem, historic county & former admin county
 * admin Cumberland did exclude Carlisle but not a problem. otherwise no notable border changes.
 * Westmorland - not a problem - historic county & former admin county
 * all these had identical borders


 * Rutland - not a problem - historic county, former admin county, former shire district, modern unitary district & ceremonial county
 * all these had identical borders


 * East Riding of Yorkshire - covers historic riding, former admin county modern council area and modern ceremonial county
 * historic riding and admin county should be treated in same article
 * council area and ceremonial county should be treated in same article
 * we could possibly have an East Riding of Yorkshire (historic) to treat the older boundaries, but we don't at the moment


 * Herefordshire
 * whilst herefordshire was abolished and restored, the boundaries are identical so there is no need to split


 * Worcestershire
 * there may be a case for a separate article about the pre-1974 and historic Worcestershire. this needs examining.  note though that Worcestershire remained a postal county after 1974, with the post-1998 borders, so splitting would probably be unintuitive.


 * Huntingdonshire
 * we have Huntingdonshire the historic and former administrative county, and also
 * Huntingdonshire district, which was briefly known as Huntingdon district
 * there might be a case for splitting an article Huntingdonshire (historic) off, about the former admin county & historic county. however, the differences between the pre-1965 boundary and the post-1974 district boundary are relatively small (Old Fletton) and this is probably not worthwhile


 * Cambridgeshire
 * this is very tricky
 * historic county of Cambridgeshire = former administrative county of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely
 * former administrative county of Cambridgeshire (excluding Isle of Ely))
 * 1974 county of Cambridgeshire, ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire
 * 1974 Cambridgeshire excluding Peterborough

if we are to split Cambridgeshire it should be three ways


 * Cambridge division
 * Cambridgeshire (historic) - possibly to merge with Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely?
 * Cambridgeshire


 * Middlesex
 * no case for splitting under principles
