In Yorkshire we have the rolling vast countryside of the dales, dark tangled woodlands, remote backroads but also industry, hard labour, a history of staunch religion, faming, tight knit communities, immigration, a welcoming attitude, intolerance, riots…much of this documented, a vast amount not. It’s the stories in-between the ...
