	Staffordshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Staffordshire (abbreviated Staffs) is a landlocked county in the West Midlands region of England.
		An administrative county of Staffordshire was set up in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888 covering the county except the county boroughs of Wolverhampton, Walsall and West Bromwich in the south (the area known as the Black Country), and Hanley in the north.
		This reorganisation led to the administrative county of Staffordshire having a thin protusion passing between the county boroughs (to the east) and Shropshire, to the west, to form a short border with Worcestershire.

	The Postmodern in History: A Response to Professor O'Brien
		History comes with historians as standard equipment, all of whom endorse different theories about the nature of change, and all of whom write about it in ways dedicated to the creation of their own versions of the- past-as-history though be it in the name of objectivity.
		History viewed as an empirical methodology founded on an acceptable level of correspondence between the past and our narrative construction of it is, I suggest, far too narrow a judgement of the job of the historian.
		History, if it is not always a philosophical undertaking that questions how we think and rethink the relationships between subject and object, form and content, fact and fiction, truth and perspective, observer and observed, then I have my doubts as to whether it has been worth all the years I have spent in the archive.

	History of Staffordshire Ambulance Service
		Following the creation of a “national ambulance service” under the auspices of the Civil Defence system of the Second World War and with the cessation of hostilities in 1945, there was added impetus to have an ambulance service more generally available and part of the setting up of the NHS was to address this need.
		In Staffordshire this resulted in three ambulance services, the county borough of Burton on Trent and the City of Stoke on Trent provided for their immediate areas with their own ambulance services whilst the remainder of the County had an ambulance service provided by the County Council.
		In 1992 Staffordshire Ambulance Service were offered the opportunity of becoming a self governing NHS Trust, This opportunity became a reality and since that date Staffordshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust has run all ambulances and allied services covering most of the geographical county of Staffordshire.
