I like this framing, and obviously, as someone whose historical work is concerned with 'place', some of these labels and boundaries are important to understanding that, others perhaps less so.
At least 'Darlington' has a core you can find on a map: 'West of England', less so.

Where is Darlington? Now, I know where Darlington is. I used to work there. But if I asked you ‘where is Darlington’ in the sense of which local authority, administrative geography or region then you might struggle. And this map shows why.
