      Pronouncing it as it's spelt is not incorrect, but the way they're pronounced has evolved over the centuries as some of them can be hard to pronounce in the way they're spelled out. For example: saying "Chis-ick" rather than "Chis-W-ick" is a lot easier to pronounce in conversation & that's the case with many towns, cities & counties.

Also, Gloucester is not just any small city in New England, it is well known nationally as a fishing and nautical center for the past 200 years.

    Both New England and the eastern half of Canada are littered with places that have borrowed British place names that are not pronounced like their British counterparts (although some are). For example, Peterborough, Ontario is usually pronounced with clearer O sounds in the final two syllables. Generally speaking, every portion of the name will be enunciated without the British habit of dropping syllables or portions of syllables. In and near Quebec, you'll even her them pronounced with Canadian French phonetics and stress patterns (or rather sheer absence of English syllable-stress since English is stress-timed while French is syllable-timed), just for added fun.

It was first used in Wessex from the beginning of Anglo-Saxon settlement, and spread to most of the rest of England in the tenth century"

    That's why I love my first language (spanish) because Spanish has a shallow (or transparent) orthography, that is, its pronunciation and spelling has an almost direct concordance, so, every combination of letters corresponds in almost every case to one sound and only one.
    For example spelling bees wouldn't be so interesting in spanish, cuz when you say the word is so easy to know it's spelling, with few exceptions like "v" and "b" which, with any combination of characters, would sound exactly the same, or "Z" and "S" (and in some cases "c") which are pronunciated as the same in Latin America (but not in Spain).
    But that's also one of the reasons for what english is difficult for us.

    Herford is a small city in eastern wesfalia in germany... sounds alomost the same to Hereford. Actually, come to think of it, more placenames in Westfalia could be placenames in middle to northern england (like Corvey). Probably it's because westfalian platt (the local dialect) is relatively close to old english. It's where the saxons were from, anyway, so there may be the connection.

    I'd be curious to see the Brit try to pronounce a lot of the place names in Washington State and Oregon. A lot of them are based on indigenous peoples' words, though I think some might also be based on European languages I simply don't know well enough to recognize. A few (in)famous local examples: Sequim, Puyallup, Issaquah, Tillamook, Steilacoom. Spokane might count as well, though I think most people could guess it in two tries. Most people would probably guess Cle Elum correctly on the first go, but they wouldn't be sure they were right until told so.
    BTW I must watch too much BBC America, because I knew how to pronounce all of the names in this video, though I had to guess (correctly) at Aberystwyth.

    I am shock that the English girl does not know that shire, pronounced as shə, is shire ( pronounced as ˈʃʌɪə/). That is old the pronunciation that in the names never changed only.

    As Italian motherlanguage I got impressed how Gloucester word Christina told because when you are Italian and you are learning English, when you try to guess how is the pronunciation about, you pronounce "Gloucester" like Americans wow! Anyway, I ask sorry about my English, I'm trying to learn, so, feel free to correct what I wrote.

    Another one that trips Americans up is Slough. The -ough is quite malleable in English, Consider this sentence:
    'I travelled through Slough to Loughborough to deliver a dough trough.' Each instance of -ough is pronounced differently.

    In the USA depending on what part you live in affects what language most town names are. I went from living in mostly Spanish and indigenous American to mostly French and indigenous.

    I knew Gloucester and Worcestershire, because in Virginia, where I live, there’s a Gloucester and a Gloucester County, and I’ve used Worcestershire sauce on my food. The other ones, I had absolutely no clue.

    You missed out on a lot of other place names in The UK, which are pronounced differently to how they are spelt
