	North - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		North is one of the four primary cardinal directions, specifically the direction that, in Western culture, is treated as the primary direction and used (explicitly or implicitly) to define all other directions.
		Magnetic north is of interest because it is the direction indicated as north on a properly functioning (but uncorrected) magnetic compass.
		Thus the choice of the north as corresponding to up in the northern hemisphere, or of south in that role in the southern, is, prior to world-wide communication, anything but an arbitrary one.

	The Great North Road of Steel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The London and North Western had become alarmed because the building of bridges over the Tyne and the Tweed offered the Midland an alternative route to Scotland; so the alliance against the Great Northern was loosened, while a new struggle began between the former allies.
		The great markets and centres of population had much to gain from quick and safe intercommunication, and their needs were at once an incentive and a reward to the railway builders.
		And that is why the great steel roads of the north endure to-day, serving the present age and paying their tribute to the men of the past.

	The Solstice Project - The Great North Road: a Cosmographic Expression of the Chaco Culture of New Mexico
		To summarize, the road's great width and parallel routes, its ephemeral practical use, and apparent terminus at an isolated badlands canyon fail to justify, in functional terms, the effort entailed in its construction.
		The effort made by the Chacoans to construct the Great North Road with a bearing within 1/2 degree to 2 degrees of true north is similar to the effort they made to involve the north-south axis in their large ceremonial constructions and the noon-seasonal markings on Fajada Butte.
		The road's enigmatic ceramic concentrations, the possibility of ceramic related rituals at Pueblo Alto, and the character of the road ceramics suggest the possibility of ceremonial activity associated with ceramics on the road.

		It is one of those villages that the Great North Road never actually went through, lying down a lane that led away to the east of the main road.

		The old Great North Road ran along the eastern edge of the county through the towns of Newark, Tuxford and East Retford, and for centuries it was the main route from London to York and beyond.

	The Great North Road through North Mymms Parish
		Because the section of the road between Shepherds Way junction and Hatfield was diverted to a new route in 1850, by - passing Bell Bar, the simplest way to explain the original route is to describe a journey along the road through the parish shortly after 1730.

	Nevada - Great Basin National Park
		Approach: The park is close to US 50, supposedly 'The Loneliest Road in America', and the only trans Nevada route that crosses into Utah for 210 miles, between I-80 in the north and NV 319/UT 56 further south.
		Just 7 miles from the state border, another lonely road (NV 487) branches off; the park entrance is along a side road near the little town of Baker, after which NV 487 continues into Utah, becomes UT 21 and traverses wide-open, empty lands for 120 miles before eventually joining I-15.
		A good (free) alternative is close to a gravel pit, 2 miles north of Baker and a short distance east of the main road NV 487, but out-of-sight of passing traffic.

		The ancient road known as Ermine Street running through Ware and Royston was one of two routes leading to the north from the city of London, the other being that which ran through Potters Bar & Hatfield.
		At this time roads were nothing more than wide paths, some of the better roads had gravel scattered about to provide a more sturdy surface, however this still required some form of maintenance.
		The Great North Road through Potters Bar remains fairly unchanged from its orgional route up until the north end of the High Street, junction with Cotton Road.

		Not only does New North Road have much cooler houses on it, but, unlike Great North Road, it doesn't go to Henderson.
		Whilst Great South Road is really long and straight and more South and the two Norths are North, it should be noted that it goes through some really horrible suburbs and ends up being a great big rural road.
		And also, driving down Great South Road takes you that much closer to Hamilton, which is something to be avoided.
