Yes, to visit Hatfield House where ElizabethI lived before she became queen. It was really interesting, but this was forty years ago, so assume Hatfield town itself may well have changed. Incidentally I live north of the Mersey, but I always remember that A1 road sign, Hatfield and the North, not to mention the band.

The sign always said :

Hatfield
The North.

Coming back from Swaledale I saw a sign which simply had

The North
The South

all on the same direction arrow (the blue Motorway kind)
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Old Hatfield is very quaint, down in the dip right by the House. The new town is.... well, run down, I think is the polite expression.

I suppose "North" and "South" are all relative.
