Simple answer: the english coastal shipping and convoys. When talking about the BoB, one has to keep always in mind that cutting off England from supplies was a major part of the strategy. The BoB started with air raids against shipping as early as May 40, and although industrial targets and aerodromes were targetted later on, the raids against shipping never stopped during the BoB, and even after.
Concerning Bombers from Norway, the Luftwaffe also attacked industrial targets in Northern England.
