The definitive East Anglia
James G. Cracknell
This was the definition from the maps of John Speede
Norfolk
Suffolk
Cambrdigeshire
Isle of Ely
and not what was Huntingdonshire or any part of Essex.

An interesting definition, but not exactly definitive, surely?
Presumably the Soke of Peterborough was also excluded?

How about anybody whose regional TV is Anglia? Otherwise, I don't have
a region :-(

I-O-Ely. Might the original border have been the Cam/Ouse?

Surely 'East Anglian' is a state of mind. I live in Colchester which,
along with great swathes of EA. is within the commuter belt, but I am a
country boy and have no affinity whatsoever with Metropolitan Essex and
London. If I'm not East Anglian, what am I?

Metro Essex and all the East London refugees that inhabit it. The hard
reality is that you notice a distinct change in the atmosphere from
Witham and further south.
In Colchester we have an Anglian accent (and among older residents) a
part dialect. I can only receive Anglia TV, BBC East and pay my bills to
BT East Anglia, Anglian Water and Eastern Electricity.
Oh, and I was run over by a tractor as I walked out of my Local. ;-))

Not only are old regional variations to be found 'north of Witham'
...... There are still quite a few real local accents to be heard in
Maldon, try going to The Hythe and listening for a while, or visit the
Queens Head pub and listen awhile.

tractor you harboured no grudges or ill thoughts about them - now it
might not be unreasonable to describe you as an ex-tractor fan??
