Orchard Spas Philosphy on the naming of our range of Hot Tubs and Spa baths.

Orchard Spas supports raising awareness of the continuing importance of the 86 historic (or traditional) Counties of Great Britain. We believe that the Counties are an important part of the culture, geography and heritage of Great Britain. In promoting our range of hot tubs with the names of some of these counties we support the idea that Britain needs a fixed popular geography, one divorced from the ever changing names and areas of local government but, instead, one rooted in history, public understanding and commonly held notions of cultural identity.

For example we have used the name Huntingdonshire – as one of our model names, a county which despite over 1,000 years heritage is now only continued as a district within Cambridgeshire. Rutland is now restored as England’s smallest county – after being swallowed up into Leicestershire in the 1970’s.

Orchard Spas therefore, seeks to fully re-establish the use of the Counties as the standard popular geographical reference frame of Britain and to further encourage their use as a basis for social, sporting and cultural activities.

The historic Counties of Great Britain are fundamental to our culture. Older than cathedrals, more historic than stately homes, counties like Lincolnshire, Cornwall, Middlesex, Anglesey and Fife are basic to our life. Their names belong to the ground we tread. They are an indelible part of our history. They are important cultural entities. They are sources of identity and affection to many people. Organisations galore - sports clubs, businesses, societies, regiments, farmers' unions - are based upon them. Above all else, the Counties are places - places where people live, places they are proud to "come from". And they give us something else. Like every country Great Britain needs a stable geography- a set of commonly accepted names and areas for communication between people in all walks of life: business, education, the media etc. For centuries, the traditional Counties have fulfilled this role.

Now it’s all at risk. From 1888 to 1965 local government "administrative counties" were closely based upon the traditional Counties. The last 40 years have seen numerous local government reforms: a modern local government map now bears little resemblence to the traditional Counties. However, the Government has always maintained that local government changes do not actually directly affect the Counties themselves. Despite such re-assurances, the tendency for the media, map-makers, publishers etc. to use local government areas as a basis for popular geography has obscured the identities of the Counties. In fact, local government names and areas change so frequently that they are totally unsuitable for such a geographical purpose. Surely we cannot be expected to re-learn our whole notion of "where places are" every 20 years or so ? Neither should we be robbed of our cultural inheritance. There really is no need for it. The 6 Counties of Northern Ireland - Antrim, Armagh, Down and the rest - have no role in local government but are used by everyone as the basis of its geography. Orchard Spas advocates the same practice for Great Britain.

Orchard Spas encourages the use of the historic Counties in postal addressing, in guide books, on boundary signs and maps and encourages their further use as a basis for sporting, social and cultural activities and organisations.

In this regard we support the aims and values of the Association of British Counties http://www.abcounties.co.uk/
