The business geography of Northen England

Do you mean the square bit to the East of Newcastle, 40,000 km to the East that is, or the same one immediately to the West of Newcastle?

Very good images by the way.

You seem to be asking a Suity type question with important bits of information drip fed into the thread as desired. What exactly are you looking for manufacturing centres or service centres. In both cases you won't find many in Northumberland and Cumbria as there is neither the infrastructure to distribute the goods (if the former) or demand for servicing (if the later)...

There should be a very small but dense cluster around Whitehaven, representing the power station and the tech companies that service it.

That's the bit I was on about yes. Not to be confused with the soggy maritime bits which don't have any people in either.

Incidently, my picture has that dark box extending all the way to the central belt of Scotland. Are there many car show rooms in the borders? If there are then the OP might be on to something?

There's a West Cumberland Farmers tractor showroom at Tarset and you can buy remote controlled cars from a bloke in Selkirk, but I don't think they count.

In answer to your question not many.. As a quick test look at Search Vauxhall Dealers | Local Car & Van dealerships - Vauxhall Motors UK

and note the gapping large gap between Alnwick and Musselburgh.

Then do the same for Gretna Green....
