There are no artefacts from the West Midlands, the only county not represented in the collections.

Note: Sussex and Yorkshire have been taken as a whole for these statistics as many artefacts are just labelled 'Sussex' or 'Yorkshire' or are not clearly divided between the post 1945 boundaries.

David: Each of the above counties can be linked to the pie charts shown in Excel file: Each county E / A/ O. I have not bothered doing separate files for each of these as you will probably be able to do it in some better way than just linking web pages. There are no excel charts for counties which are very strongly one type of object.
