To see the flag of Staffordshire flying anywhere is pretty rare, but then there is some confusion about what the flag is. The flag in this photo is actually the flag of Staffordshire County Council.
I saw this example in Tunstall, outside the Brittain Adams company offices. (Brittain Adams is a long standing local firm).
With Staffordshire Day coming up soon, there is a proposal to adopt this flag as the proper one for the county. However, one action group is lobbying hard for a version of the flag that omits the heraldic lion altogether. If you live in Staffordshire, you can vote online for which version you prefer. Voting ends this Sunday.
A separate flag design, based more profoundly on the Stafford Knot than this one, has not yet matured I believe.
