Anotace knihy

Delving once more into the depths of the Yorkshire Post's photographic files and newspaper archives, Peter Tuffrey has come up with a treasure trove of pictures and stories that quite marvellously capture the flavour of life in North Yorkshire during the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 70s. This part of the county, snuggling alongside the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors, is renowned for its association with the agricultural world and many former farming activities are featured. Additionally, we witness redevelopment taking place as well as the threat motorised transport will bring in future years to the numerous small and quaint villages. The book also finds time to illustrate well-known landmarks, country estates as well as hi-lighting quirky and eccentric events. Benningborough Hall, Castle Howard, Studley Royal are just a few of the country estates included. A stop off at the two renowned railway heritage sites the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam is also included. York, the main city in the region, is seen in all its quaint olde world glory in pictures dating from the 1940s. These, it may be stated, show the area long before it became a massive tourist attraction. This book will provide a worthy companion to the author's earlier publication featuring West Yorkshire Towns, Cities and Villages.
