Jan 23, 2017 at 9:32 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | I would say that it was quite traditional British usage to say 'Newport, Monmouth (or Gwent)' to distinguish it from Newport, Staffs. What is very American is to speak of 'Paris, France' as distinct from Paris, Texas, when a Brit would assume that the capital of France was meant. | |
