Thanks Ben, i live just over the border in England so this will be very useful.
I looked at the link in the document list of standardised place names in England and Wales <https://www.welshlanguagecommissioner.wales/standardised-welsh-place-names-list> However as far as I can see it only has places in Wales. I was looking for Chester, which seems to be Caer in Welsh. I only know this because I see it on the front of buses, but they often use abbreviations. Can you clarify the source of Welsh names for places in England.
