I have taken at random 12 people from each county of Cornwall, England, Wales and Scotland (I may include Ireland if asked to). Each country and county of the British Isles is represented by 6 females and 6 males.
Each person is chosen completely at random with only two rules: They were aged between 18 and 40, and had a reasonable photo.

Cornwall.

Most of them have westerner traits, descendants of those ancient tribes that dwelt Iberia, West France and Britain. Those called Celts. Those "worshipers of Stones, Fountains, Caves, Runes and Moon."

Sadly, new British, adorers of false prophets coming from enemy lands will be in this (as in other European lists) as are those ancient dwellers of immemorial times of those beautiful lands of Britain, in my humble opinion, true People of Britain.

Just as a quick summary.

My impression is they look very western-European. With this I mean that they on overall give away a strong relief in the facial profile (as opposite of flat-faced), medium-prominent to prominent noses and medium-long faces.

Concerning the two regions shown until now, though I didn't thought it would happen (since its just based on a random 12 pic selection). It does seem that the people from the South-Western region (Cornwall etc.) do appear somewhat more Sudeuropid on the 'West-European' scale. While the people from South-Central England seem to go more towards Nordeuropid on the Western-European scale. However none of the shown counties/shires is in any way pred. Nordeuropid or pred. Sudeuropid.

What seems to lack is Alpinoid, some people show influences/admixture (and a single pred.) but on the whole shown selection it is not a strong element.

And on a sidenote, You've shown that some pretty girls live in that part of England, how random is that selection...;)

From what I've seen, it's a mixture of the darker insular types and continental types.

I have a pretty typical western look, dark hair, light eyes. I didn't feel out of place at all going to visit family over in the UK.

I'll actually narrow down what I said.. they look like northern Portuguese (Minho area) and Galicians, Asturians in Spain. They looked very familiar to me, Wiltshire and that set less so but still somewhat.

But when I got to Sussex on the next page, the Germanic influences were much more obvious and I recognized almost none of the faces.

This is unfortunate if man does not take his traditions back into his own hands and drive out those who are foreigners nature will spurn that people it unleash its wrath on them. Let this be a fair warning to those who do not remain consistent to the traditions and culture of Europe. And remaining devoted and faithful to the traditions and culture of Europe means preserving the ethnicities in their purity and not mixing with other non European races. Unfortunately Europe has been overrun by a wave of hyper secularism and materialism spiritual and instinctual values do not matter anymore and so folk traditions and cultural practices that have been passed down for over a millennium if not more are being quickly swamped over by foreigners. Instead of protecting and preserving there traditions and cultures they are abandoning them to give into the lie that they need to be more dynamic when this is just making them more foreign and self alienated from their identities.
The average European citizen is confused about their identity as multiculturalism has taken its stand in Europe its time for those who have their identity fermented to guide and lead the blind in a cultural revolution in Europe before Europe is reduced to a hybrid monstrosity. This is why the man in the country and in isolation is so important to reviving the volkish spirit because only he has not been defiled by the hyper industrialism which has stripped the they of their identity and gathered them into an unthinking herd. Only the man of the country who is in touch with the land and nature can truly be an authentic individual that knows himself and is able to think and act in culturally appropriate ways preserving those gifts which have been handed down to him.

British people are good-looking on average in my opinion (one of my favourite groups). I don't understand how they earned their reputation of being ugly.

Americans with an inferiority complex wanted a way to insult us so invented it.

It's just not cricket!

I guess as the stereotype sinks in, people notice ugly people more and the stereotype seems to fulfill itself.

I do remember from the POBI 'Face of Britain' part of their project that the people of Devon had quite broad faces, while their counterparts to the east and west had narrower heads. I'll see if i can find my copy of the DVD, i'll watch it again and post on here what is said if i can find it.

I don't know if I can really say whether British people are ugly as I have only lived in the countryside (near small towns with no real prospects, people moving away, lots of chavs) in the UK, whereas in France and Italy I have lived in big cities where there are lots of foreigners, people from other places in the country and genuinely more elegant, stylish people. I did ask my English friend what she thought, though, and she said that in France there were more average people and in the UK there were more extremes, i.e. unattractive and stunningly beautiful people. I don't know if this is really true though :)

Some of the actors in Coronation street have some interesting phenotypes. Caution must be taken when assessing actors or celebrities though, since they often have ethnic backgrounds.
Here are some British ones though with interesting phenotypes IMO:

Chris Gascoyne:

Sometimes he looks very swarthy, I think he must be some sort of Atlantid. Originally from Manchester.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9XdhMDeWQ8I/UIeuc2AYAVI/AAAAAAAAXJc/EatrqI4gF_k/s1600/peter+carla.jpg
The woman next to him stands out too

http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1479829.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Chris+Gascoyne

His surname points to an Anglo-Norman ancestry from somewhere in Aquitaine. I don't think that will have much effect on phenotype now unless his ancestry is largely just Anglo-Norman.

Kym Marsh:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Kym_Marsh%2C_Manchester_Arndale.jpg

Originally from Warrington.

Ryan Thomas:

From Manchester, but with a surname like 'Thomas' his ancestry might ultimately be Welsh.

http://topnews.in/files/images/Ryan-Thomas1.jpg

Sacha Louise Parkinson:

Not unusual, but she stands out like a saw thumb in Coronation street by how Nordic she looks compared to the rest of them. :D

From Salford.

Brook Vincent:

http://www.revellation.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SOPHIE_WEBSTER.jpg

From Greater Manchester, but I've always thought she has kind of a Welsh look.

Michael Le Vell:

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2011/10/6/1317886327964/Coronation-Street-star-Mi-007.jpg

From Manchester, surname sounds Norman and he doesn't look typically English.

Alison King:

From Eastern England, looks SW Euro IMO. A very odd look, Roma ancestry?? :confused:

Albion

Michelle Keegan:

She can look very swarthy at times. 'Keegan' sounds Irish, maybe this is so-called "black Irish" ancestry appearing in her phenotype? ;)

http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/lc/michelle_keagan_080709/coronation_street_2497693.jpg

That's pretty much all the cast with interesting phenotypes. They stand out compared to the rest which are more Nordic / Nordified Atlantids.
Atlantid types do occur but seem rarer than Nordic or altered Nordic types, they're more noticeable.

Ryan Thomas is likely Welsh and Alison King may have some non-British ancestry IMO. The others can pass in areas of England but their phenotypes are rarer.
The trend for women to get tans doesn't make it any easier, although some Atlantid types here tan quite easily. It does show how much difference there is between phenotypes in the east vs west though.


Albino, what do you think of him (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63368)? Is he also exotic for England?

He doesn't look exotic, he looks Southern. Could see plenty like him in London and the South East.

That tv programm, shows the type I try to avoid more. Old people & overweight. lol

Also that Jay Mckray fella, looks like the kind. I'd never tire to repeatedly punch in the face. Looks vain.

Yeah thats the only real drawback, but then we aren't trying to classify them so no problem. Shows people how they are, and we are the 'old fogies' of the world really, aging population & low birth rate.

Lol yeah, that'd be ill advised.

Even John terry & some Only way is Essex guy. Bladieblah is slowly supplying me with a hitlist, of people, I could wipe off the earth. :P

For the matter, I don't like Cheryl Cole either. Even if my Nana comes from the exact same part of Newcastle.

Took some faces from the Face of Britain TV program, back then the views on the Celts were a bit outdated but this actual difference can be altered quite easily.

This is all taken from Episode 1, about the people of the south-west of Britain:

Cornwall:

These look like Southerners from the United States. I could hear a thick Southern drawl coming from these people.

Haha, i was thinking a similar thing when i posted them - Although you must know much more about them than me.

Although these are from the far South-west, it's interesting that the West Country accents from places like Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset etc sound somewhat similar to what i've heard of southern US accents. Very interesting.

Do those from other areas that i've posted (Norfolk, Suffolk, Orkney, Kent, Sussex) also give you the same impression - Or is it just these?

It's the green cap. Makes them more American.

True...That guy wearing the Hempel hat in combination with the moustache looks like a stereotypical American, to me.

Just the group from Cornwall and Devonshire. They look less Germanic influenced than the other photos.

This group looks more Californian/Midwestern/New England to me.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Would be interesting to see if southerners are genetically closer to south-western British than they are to eastern British. I noticed quite a few of Anglo-American stock on 23&me are more western on genetic calculators (a lot seem to actually match Cornish samples pretty close if i remember correctly), while a friend of mine (who's ancestry is mainly from New England i believe) is quite similar to myself (eastern but also southern as well, compared to average). Of course this is just a handful of people...

Anyway back to phenotype...I agree with you looking at them, they do look more American. The second person down (woman) in the Suffolk section to me just looks plain German, although i've met someone from coastal Lincolnshire that looks a lot like her.

Suffolk has people, that I'm not used to seeing. It's a bit different.

Yeah they do look a bit different. Where i am people are often a right mix like me, and look as such. The people of Kent/Sussex look most familiar to me out of that selection, how about yourself - Orkney, Northumberland?

Orkney, Northumberland & Cornwall. Are Most.
