Greater Manchester (UK County) Flag Playing Cards

This design features the flag of Greater Manchester, which is a symbol of the council region in the North West of England. There are ten metropolitan boroughs in the county of Greater Manchester: Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan, and the cities of Manchester and Salford. Greater Manchester is formed from parts of the historic counties of Lancashire, Cheshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire. Manchester is one of the biggest cities in England and the UK: it is often called the "Capital of the North". It was also the world's first industrialised city: there was a boom in textile manufacturing in the area during the Industrial Revolution.
