Would anyone actually want that many images?  There must be hundreds of exactly the same thing, what would be the point?

Patrick.

The following are cities:

London, York, Lincoln, Oxford, Bath, Liverpool, Brighton and Portsmouth.


And so are Preston and St David's in Wales and I dare say quite a few more are as well.  England has 50 cities, plus there's those in Scotland and Wales as well, of course.

OK I googled it and it reports that Brighton is a major part of the City of Brighton & Hove which is made up of the previous towns Brighton, Hove, Portslade and several other villages.  So it would appear that Brighton itself is not a City but that Brighton & Hove (and all the other little villages) are a City. ???

I think Brighton and Hove ( combined) became a city in 2000.

Yes, Brighton and Hove (usually known as Brighton) was granted city status in 2000 as part of the Millennium celebrations.
