healthyaddiction Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The whole cathedral to be a city is an old thing and isn't true anymore, they have given out city status on a few occasions to cities without cathedrals. I think Preston is one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 In 1992, on the fortieth anniversary of the monarch's accession, it was announced that another town would be elevated to a city. An innovation on this occasion was that a competition was to be held, and communities would be required to submit applications. Sunderland was the successful applicant. bless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
