Jerry, Yes, I’m still up – it’s early yet! Yes they are both counties. In actual fact ‘shire’ is the old name for for ‘county’, although not all counties end with it, eg. Essex, Cornwall etc.. In England the only county which is prefaced by ‘County’ is County Durham.

Are Yorkshire and Devonshire considered counties in England? And, if so, do you put the term county along with their names or just leave it at Devonshire or Yorkshire if that is all you have?
