I would think that Norfolk would be a good place to use as an example. The rebranding of Burnham Market as "Chelsea by the Sea" is one example. You also have Roys of Wroxham: the World's largest village store...
There's also "Kingdom Country", related to the Stephen Fry series.

Have just added some images of sunny Norfolk taken over the last few days to my Flickrpages

Will put some Norfolk rebranding materials together over the course of the next week or so.
If you're uploading the suggested references to the GeoFactsheets and GeoFiles e.g. Issue numbers and content and how they fit with the specification, that's fine.
If you're uploading the ACTUAL GeoFiles that's not.
A while ago, GeoFile offered a sample document and I downloaded it and added a link, and got a stroppy e-mail asking me to remove the link even though it was to their own free sample.
I think people would still find a list of suggested documents useful, and can then decide whether they want to pay for subscription.
Thanks for contacting me !
