The North-South Divide - other work and maps

Our work for the Lowry gallery in defining the modern North-South dividing line was without historical basis. Here's a few interesting links to earlier 'lines', and also an interesting newer one relating to beer!

• William Smith’s ‘Great Map’ (1815-17) of England and parts of Scotland’s geology
• The Fosse Way (Roman road and frontier)
• Danelaw
• How southerners view the North (image of unknown origin)
• Edmund Schluessel's Beer-head map of England

And also a selection of related academic work:
