HIT THE NORTH! William the Conqueror's technique for “levelling up” the Northern Powerhouse #LevellingUp #NorthernPowerhouse

The Harrying of the North refers to a series of campaigns waged by William the Conqueror in the winter of 1069–70 to subjugate northern England, where the presence of the last Wessex claimant, Edgar Atheling, had encouraged Anglo-Danish rebellions. William paid the Danes to go home, but the remaining rebels refused to meet him in battle, and he decided to starve them out by laying waste to the northern shires using scorched earth tactics, especially in the city of York, before relieving the English aristocracy of their positions, and installing Norman aristocrats throughout the region. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrying_of_the_North

In England, the term North–South divide refers to the cultural, economic, and social differences between Northerners and Southerners.

Hit the North is a 1987 song by British post-punk band The Fall. The lyrics are by vocalist Mark E. Smith accompanied with music written by Simon Rogers and Brix Smith. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_the_North
