North-South Divide

North-South Divide
(in Britain) the economic and social differences between the North and the South of England, especially the South-East, shown by things like house prices, employment figures and rates of pay. In the 1980s the North suffered far more from the loss of jobs in industries such as mining but the gap between the North and the South has since become narrower.
