Shillings were used as a form of currency in various countries, including England, from the 16th century until the decimalization of the British currency in 1971.

Nearly all of the ones that are in England now!! It wasn't so long ago that old towns have since disappeared and new ones sprung up, we're only talking about 120 years ago, not millenia! However, since the 19th Century, many towns have expanded and grown considerably, either due to industrial or commercial activity, or to residential development as a result of the increased population since then. Some were small settlements back then, that have since expanded to become much bigger. The only few towns NOT to have existed in the 19th Century are the 'New Towns' devised by 20th Century planners between soon after WW1 and the 1970s- these include Milton Keynes, Telford in Shropshire, and Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, which was designed as a model residential town in the 1920s.
