Acomb
You are showing this article as 'Acomb  North Yorkshire'. Acomb is in York, which is a county in its own right established as such by Richard II in 1396. York is not in North Yorkshire. It is therefore an error in your article to assert as such. You will see if you Google it, that Lloyds bank paid significant sums in compensation to York residents as a result of post being sorted as 'North Yorkshire' instead of 'York'. In one case credit cards went to a prison in error directly as a result of the incorrect postal address. Only counties have sheriffs - and the City of York has had a sheriff since the 14th century. York a a county and North Yorkshire as a county do share a fire and police service, which are described as 'York and North Yorkshire'. When you leave York, say on the A64, you see a sign welcoming you to North Yorkshire. This is not a pedantic point - it is a serious issue of status and dignity
