The Yorkshire Ridings’ Society was formed in 1975 at the time when massive changes were being made to local government and the areas which they administered.
These changes resulted in new administrative areas, some which were known as ‘new counties’.
In fact, the act which created the new administrative areas stated clearly that the existing county boundaries were unchanged by the legislation.
The boundaries of our traditional counties have, thus, never changed.
The society has been working for over thirty years to ensure that the integrity of Yorkshire, its three Ridings and all the associated boundaries is maintained.
YRS is currently working towards ensuring that county boundaries are marked on maps and by appropriate road signs.
