About  The North   

Northern England, The North or North of England refers to the perceived North-South divide in England, according to which the North is considered a region with an identity separate from that of the South of England. The special cultural, political and economic characteristics of "the North" are not universally agreed upon; nor are its geographical limits. Common definitions hold the North to be that region dominated by 'Northern' regional accents; the former areas of heavy industry and their adjacent countryside in Lancashire, the north-east, Yorkshire and the north Midlands; the region indicated by road signs labelled 'The North'; the region which historically was governed by the medieval Council of the North or which falls into the ecclesiastical Province of York; or that part of England where relatively low wages, house prices and human development indicators prevail.
