      London didn't get to where it is today by "attracting" industry & wealth, but by *creating* it, and that creative capacity is what drew ppl

      It drew people, I would add, despite severe *disincentives* like industrial pollution and crowding.

      They don't "see" it that way, it *is* that way--if a northern city became a place to succeed, it would start picking up quick growth too

      But again, this means figuring out what made London grow in the first place, why the industrial revolution saw London explode with growth...

      ...instead of those cities closer to resources, or home to large mill complexes. What made London different? That's the key here.

      I agree with p much 100% of the rest of your case & this doesn't change it. But IR way more a Northern phenomenon than a Southern one

      Maybe I just misread your wording. But damn! Look at those wonderful town halls and lavish old city centres across N. Built on IR wealth

      When Sir Edward Watkin (pbuh) wanted to build the 1906 chunnel legend has it the key goal was connecting Manchester + N to continent!

      Ofc, we mothballed and destroyed the existing high speed line he already built between LDN & N in 1967 😒
