Yorkshire & Humberside in Pictures

Front Cover:

This is a very nicely illustrated souvenir brochure of Yorkshire. The book was published in 1984 by the Yorkshire and Humberside Tourist Board, York. The soft cover book measures 11 ¾ inches by 8 1/8 inches and contains 16 pages. The cover is securely attached. The cover shows minor signs of wear. The pages show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this old booklet is very good.


Left: Only four miles from the beach and the bustle and fun of Scarborough’s seaside lies the tranquility of the North York Moors National Park; here the river Derwent glides past beech and chestnut trees in the beautiful Forge Valley.

Right: The cobbled main street in Haworth, West Yorkshire. The village was once best known as a thriving handloom weaving centre but now its world fame rests on the literary reputation of the Bronte sisters, whose family home was here. Even today it is easy to recognize the surrounding lonely moorlands and stark grey stones which provided the settings for the immortal classics ‘Wuthering Heights’, ‘Tenant of Wildfell Hal’ and ‘Jane Eyre’.


At Knaresborough the river Nidd has carved a narrow gorge through the belt of magnesian limestone, which is crossed by the imposing railway viaduct; before it could be opened, the bride fell down in 1848 and was re-opened three years later.


BR Standard Class 44-6-0 and ex-colliery 0-6-0 saddle tank ‘Fred’ double-head a steam special along the Worth Valley in West Yorkshire. The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway – made familiar through the films ‘The Railway Children’, ‘Yanks’ and Martini commercials – steams for five miles from Keighley to Oxenhope via Oakworth and Haworth.

Excerpt – regarding illustration on front cover:
A walk round the massive walls of York offers superb views of Britain’s greatest medieval city. The first city walls were built by the Romans in the 2nd century, but the wall you can walk on today is the medieval wall, almost three miles in extent. The stone wall, dating from the 13th century and extensively restored in the 19th and 20th centuries, stands on an earth rampart built by the Anglo-Danish kings of York and’ then enlarged by the Normans. The whole walk around the walls takes about two hours and is particularly attractive in spring when daffodils are in bloom on most parts of the embankment.
