		Hybrid place-names are occasionally to be met with in the colonized portions of Wales, as in Gelliswick (a combination of the Celtic gelhi, a hazel grove, and the Norse wick, a haven), and in Fletherhill, where the English suffix hill is practically a translation of the Celtic prefix.
		The great South Wales coalfield, one of the largest in the kingdom, covers the greater part of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, the south-eastern corner of Carmarthenshire, and a small portion of south Pembrokeshire, and the quality of its coal is especially suitable for smelting purposes and for use in steamships.
		By far the larger portion of Wales is purely agricultural in character, and much of the valley land is particularly fertile, notably the Vale of Glamorgan, the Vale of Clwyd and the valleys of the Towy, the Teifi, the Usk and the Wye, which have long been celebrated for their rich pastures.

	Glamorgan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The county is bounded to the north by Brecknockshire, east by Monmouthshire, south by the Bristol Channel, and west by Carmarthenshire and Carmarthen Bay.
		The northern part of the county is a mountainous area, dissected by deep narrow valleys, with urbanisation typified by ribbon development.
		Being by far the most populous of the counties, the administrative county of Glamorgan was divided into three at the time of the local government reorganisation of the 1970s, and has now been further subdivided into several unitary authorities.

		Originally, the term county was used to describe the land under the jurisdiction of a count (in Great Britain, an earl, though the original earldoms covered larger areas) by reason of that office.
		The counties in Wales and Scotland were radically reorganised in the 1970s, giving way in the latter case to a reduced number of regions.
		These and the eight reorganised counties of Wales were in turn abolished in 1996 in favour of smaller unitary authorities, a system similar to that proposed for most of Great Britain in the 1960s.

	Gwynedd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It was created in 1974 as one of the eight new administrative counties of Wales.
		As the new Gwynedd covers most of the traditional counties of Caernarfonshire (less the part in the borough of Conwy) and Merionethshire, the reconstituted area was originally named Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire.
		The pre-1996 boundaries were retained as a ceremonial preserved county - in 2003 the boundary with Clwyd was adjusted to match the modern local government boundary, so that the preserved county now covers the modern Gwynedd along with Anglesey.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Wales
		One opinion is that Wales consists of twelve particular counties, and that its eastern boundary is identical with that of the eastern-most of those twelve counties.
		The County of Glamorgan is not rightly styled a shire; "Glamorganshire", though the term is often used, is a misnomer.
		The bards' favourite subjects were the Blessed Virgin, the national saints, the rosary, the roods (calvaries) in the churches, the Mass, the abbeys, and the shrines of the city of Rome.

	COUNTIES OF ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND
		County names no longer need be used in English addresses, so this table is mainly of historical interest, but might also be useful in decoding old-style addresses, which, although "depracated", are still widely used.
		In England, county names are not prefixed by the word "county" (as they are in Ireland), with one exception: County Durham, to distinguish the county from the city of the same name.
		Like the counties of England and Wales, Scottish counties have been redrawn, renamed, converted to regions and back to counties, and so forth; thus this list is more a curiosity than of any particular use in postal addressing, other than historical.
