Notes
1 For confirmation of this see Fiona Hill’s autobiographical account (Citation2021) of how education and social mobility provided her with a pathway out of the North east, eventually to Harvard and Washington – and of the effects of the abandonment of regional policy, and rising inequalities, on those who remain. In a similar vein, Kellaway (Citation2022) – a recent arrival in Newcastle-Gateshead from London – observes the desire of many of her secondary school pupils to remain in the town of their birth.
