The Northern Powerhouse initiative was developed to address issues around economic growth and productivity in the North of England. It aims to rebalance the UK’s economy away from London and the South East.
The Northern Powerhouse covers the North-East, North-West and Yorkshire and was the powerhouse of the world’s first industrial revolution which is evident in its rich heritage.
The latest edition of Historic England’s Heritage Online Debate (which has replaced its conservation Bulletin) looks at how the historic environment can help shape the Northern Powerhouse with articles from prominent people including the Northern Powerhouse Minister Andrew Percy.
