The Local Government re-oranisation of 1974 stated that the "new counties" were administrative areas only, and that the boundaries of traditional counties such as Lancashire had not been changed. Unfortunately, the media refer to these administrative areas all too frequently and ignore the fact that places such as Barrow-in-Furness, Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, etc. are still in Lancashire. So you see Prescot, Whiston and Rainhill are in Lancashire.

If administrative areas had not been called counties much of this confusion would have been avoided. The Royal Mail has at last dropped the use of administrative county names in postal addresses, and names such as Cumbria and Merseyside do not appear in the current Royal Mail Postal Address Book.

yes but "Merseyside" is still used on postal addresses even if the Royal Mail have dropped the usage in the book and the Merseyside county still actually exists legally even if it no longer has powers so I disagree Liverpool is still in Lancashire when it isn't.

If you check any address in your so called Merseyside you will find that Royal Mail does not use Merseyside. Whether you agree or not doesn't matter, Merseyside is not an official part of any address, it is used but incorrectly. Liverpool is Lancashire.
