Thornton-le-Dale Through Time

by Alan Whitworth ...

Series series Through Time
The picturesque village of Thornton Dale was voted the prettiest village in Yorkshire at the beginning of the tourist era in the 1920s and '30s and was subsequently renamed the more resonant Thornton-le-Dale. The village has more competition for the title today and although still popular with tourists has not been unduly spoilt by being over commercialised with an excess of gift shops and other ...

Whitby Yards Through Time

by Alan Whitworth ...

Series series Through Time
To visit Whitby's 'Yards' is to step back in time. Hardly changed from the Middle Ages, this is where one can still meet old Whitby - a secret Whitby - unspoilt and untroubled by the holiday visitor. The yards, alleyways and ghauts are fascinating places to explore. Though often private, there are enough remaining to catch a glimpse of what this small seaport must have been like two or three ...

Images of Yorkshire Through Time

by Alan Whitworth ...

Series series Through Time
Yorkshire remains the largest county in England, and to those born within its boundaries it is unquestionably the greatest; whether this pride is justified or not, it would surely be difficult to find a county with more claims to the visitor's interest. These include the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. One of the grandest areas of unspoiled country in the whole of England, the Dales are ... Read more

Esk Valley Railway Through Time

by Alan Whitworth ...

The Esk Valley Railway is certainly one of the best railway journeys in the North of England, and could be considered far more picturesque than the more famed North York Moors Railway. It passes through woods, valleys, pasture, agricultural plain, moorland and industrial landscape; whereas the North York Moors Railway rumbles its way through the heavily-wooded Newton Dale with almost no view ...

Thornton Through Time

by Alan Whitworth ...

Series series Through Time
Thornton, on the outskirts of Bradford, was actually the birthplace of the Brontes, not the West Riding moorland village of Haworth. Patrick Bronte came here in 1815, with a wife and two young children and left for Haworth five years later with six children, the last four being the most significant in the Bronte story. This fascinating area is brought to life here in Alan Whitworth's book. The ... Read more

The North York Moors National Park came into being in 1952. Covering an area of 554 square miles, it is the largest of the National Parks. Bordered on the east by a rugged coastline against the North Sea, the dominating feature of this Park is the vast central upland tract of moorland that provides the largest extent of unenclosed heather in England and Wales. Nevertheless, there are significant ... Read more
