If it is well our crowds aren't too bad population wise........... http://www.citymayors.com/gratis/uk_topcities.html
depends on the definition of the areas covered Lancaster city council area also includes Morecambe, i cant believe Barnsley, the town and not the area, is half the size of sheffield
That is accurate!!! Though Barnsley is one of the biggest Metropolitan areas in Great Britain on a geographical basis! It is the Barnsley Borough...meaning areas covered by Barnsley MBC, so out to Dunford Bridge area in the west and out over to Goldthorpe area in the east (is Thurnscoe in the Barnsley Borough?) I don't really think of that area as Barnsley.
It is accurate, but it is for the complete borough, so it includes Penistone and all the outlying villages like Pilley and Hemingfield etc. Its inaccurate to say that Manchester is so small. Manchester is really made up of Manchester, Trafford, Salford and Tameside, along with bits from areas around the side like Stockport, Bury, Oldham etc. Its population is more like 1.2 million, bigger than Birmingham. Manchester is now really defined by the M60, so if you were to include everything within that then it would probably be more like 1.5 million.
