It’s a feud that has been going on for centuries, well, at least since the "War of the Roses.” This was a battle for control of the English throne - which Lancashire won when Henry VII defeated Yorkist Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field.
And the rivalry is still as strong as ever.
But take a look at the pages below and relax knowing that Lancashire is still better than Yorkshire.
1. Food
2. Food Lancashire Hotpot, Butter Pie, Rag Pudding, Eccles Cakes, Chorley Cakes, Morecambe Bay Potted Shrimps, Fish and Chips on Blackpool Pier, Bene and Hot at Turf Moor… Lancashire has some seriously scrumptious scran. We’ll give you Yorkshire Puddings, but we’ve got you beat on every other front. Plus, Jelly Babies were invented here. Photo: Other
2. Football
6. Football Of the twelve founder members of the Football League in 1888, six were from Lancashire: Accrington, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Everton, and Preston North End, while (if you take the historic county boundaries incorporating Merseyside and Greater Manchester), Lancashire has 63 top division winners compared to Yorkshire’s 12. Plus, Sir Tom Finney and Lily Parr - need we say more? Photo: Kelvin Stuttard

1. Countryside The Lancashire countryside is world-famous, from the rolling hills of the Trough of Bowland to the sprawling vistas of Morecambe Bay, we have everything from Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty to hidden gems. Sure, the North Yorkshire Moors are nice, they’re just a bit… well, bleak. Photo: Kelvin Stuttard

5. Beaches
4. Beaches The sandy surroundings of Lytham, Blackpool, and Morecambe are miles ahead of their east coast counterparts in Whitby, Scarborough, and Fraisthorpe. Think sandcastles, ice cream, donkey rides, and crazy golf in the sunshine. Photo: Martin Bostock
6. The Industrial Revolution
7. The Industrial Revolution As Bill Bryson says in his totemic book At Home about the history of domesticity, ‘where would the world be without Lancashire men?’ Simply put, arguably the biggest revolution in the history of humanity was fuelled by Lancastrians, with the global impacts of their ingenuity, investment, and graft resonating around the planet to this day.
