Lancashire is a truly historic county of which its residents are rightly as proud as they are of any new home extensions they install. Created back in the 12th century, and associated with a red rose in the War of the Roses against the white rose of Yorkshire in the fifteenth century, Lancashire really came into its own as the cradle of the industrial revolution in the 19th century. The docks of Liverpool and cotton industry of Manchester making it a world leading commercial and industrial powerhouse. The current county was reduced in size from being the most populated county in England outside of London in 1972 and its admin headquarters became Preston. But many people in the newly created counties of Greater Manchester and Merseyside still to this day identify as Lancastrian. In more modern times, Lancashire, including the old historic cities, has been a leader in sports such as football and cricket and music. Among the current large towns and cities in Lancashire are Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Blackpool and Lancaster. The county boasts a huge number of tourist attractions ranging from the beaches of Blackpool and Morecombe Bay to the history of Lancaster Castle and rural pursuits in the Forest of Bowland
