On 30 September 2014, as chairman of The Campaign for the North, Harold Elletson launched an all-party pressure group to re-create the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria as a federal state in a new United Kingdom. The Campaign sought 'devo-max' power from Westminster to bring the traditional counties of Northumberland, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Westmorland and Cumberland into a democratic state with powers equal to Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or London, retaining membership of the European Union. [39] [40] In 2015, he co-founded the Northern Party to campaign for better representation for Northern England. [41] At the 2015 general election, he contested the constituency of Lancaster and Fleetwood, coming last with 0.4% of the vote. [42] At the 2019 general election, he endorsed the incumbent Labour MP, Cat Smith. [43]The Northumbrian focus on the practice of Christianity produced two of the finest scholars of the age: Bede (c. 672-735 CE) & Alcuin (c. 735-804 CE). The region has a diverse landscape that includes maritime cliffs and extensive moorland that contains a number of rare species of flora and fauna. Of particular importance are the saltmarshes of Lindisfarne, the Tees Estuary, the heaths, bogs and traditional upland hay meadows of the North Pennines, and the Arctic-alpine flora of Upper Teesdale.

PMID 25788095. Northumbria ( / n ɔːr ˈ θ ʌ m b r i ə/; Old English: Norþanhymbra rīċe; Latin: Regnum Northanhymbrorum) [4] was an early medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom in what is now Northern England and south-east Scotland. The Blaydon Races, a popular musical hall song first sung by Geordie Ridley at Balmbra's Music Hall in Newcastle in 1862, gives an idea of some of the characters attending the old meetings. These races were held on an island in the middle of the Tyne and were last held on 2 September 1916. A riot broke out after the winning horse was disqualified, and the event was discontinued. It is remembered in the famous English folk song The Blaydon Races, and the event and its characters are vividly depicted in William Irving's 1903 painting. 'The Blaydon Races – A Study from Life' which is on show at the Shipley Art Gallery in Gateshead.

A Scandinavian army now dominates this part of the kingdom. Northumbria, in modern contexts, usually refers to the region of England between the Tees and Tweed, including the historic counties of Northumberland and Durham, [1] but it may also be taken to be synonymous with North East England. The area corresponds to the rump lands of the historical Kingdom of Northumbria, which later developed into the late medieval county of Northumberland or Comitatus Northumbriae, whose original southern boundary was the River Tees. A provincial flag of Northumbria has been registered.Fraser, James E. (2006). The Pictish Conquest: The Battle of Dunnichen 685 and the Birth of Scotland. Stroud, Gloucester: Tempus.
