Talk: Northumbria

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

There is a slight mistake in this article. The modern Northumbria region (as used by the tourist board) is primarily Northumberland and County Durham. Cumbria is in North-West England (but does border Northumberland and Co. Durham).

Flag

Can someone give me more details aboput this blue and white cross flag? I have only ever seen the yellow and red flag flying? It is flown quite widely, and is also used even more frequently as a car sticker. I have no recollection of ever seeing the cross flag.

The Flags of the World website has an extensive discussion on the Northumberland flag. Several alternatives to the red-and-gold flag are discussed, but none of them seem to be in actual use. No mention is made of a blue-and-white cross flag, though.

I think I shall remove the reference to the blue and white cross flag then. Grinner 08:47, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)
