There was a reorganisations of counties in 1974 in England and Wales - which involved
boundary changes which created some new administrative areas as well as changes to existing
areas and counties. Similarly for Scotland during 1975.

- Hants (for Hampshire) - Herts - Hunts - Lancs - Rutland - Somerset etc.
