| From the author…

They call Yorkshire God’s own country. This is because England’s biggest county is also England’s most epic and most historically exciting. It has everything: unimaginably beautiful countryside, derelict castles, cliff-hugging coastlines, brutally bleak moors, quirkily quaint villages, wondrously winding waterways and industrial monsters of cities. Many of the most interesting episodes in English history have happened here: the Wars of the Roses, the English Civil War, the birth of the industrial revolution, the rise of the Labour movement.

| From me…

I spent the summer of 2021 (when travel restrictions allowed) travelling around Yorkshire, taking photos for Ed’s book. It was fun and I went to places that I would never have thought to visit (Huddersfield, for one. It was great!). Yorkshire is a very photogenic place so it was a real pleasure exploring the county.

| What’s in the book?

Head up the heart-pumping hills of Hebden Bridge. Dally in the Dales, mooch in the moors and wuther in the heights on the way to a death-defying date with Dracula in Whitby. Head south for some 18th century smuggling in Robin Hood’s Bay and the faded glories of spa-soaked Scarborough. Tip your hat to Harold Wilson in Huddersfield, hand your jumper to Dickie Bird in Barnsley, and beware Billy Bremner in Leeds.
