Description

""Yorkshire"" by Gordon Home is a comprehensive guide to the county of Yorkshire, located in the north of England. The book provides a detailed account of the history, geography, and culture of the region, as well as practical information for visitors. The author covers the major cities and towns of Yorkshire, including Leeds, York, and Sheffield, and also explores the countryside, coastline, and moors. Home delves into the county's rich heritage, from the Viking invasion to the industrial revolution, and highlights the many landmarks, museums, and galleries that reflect this legacy. He also provides tips on where to stay, eat, and drink, and offers suggestions for outdoor activities and local events. With its engaging writing style and wealth of information, ""Yorkshire"" is an essential read for anyone interested in this fascinating and diverse region of England.The walk along the rocky shore to Kettleness is dangerous unless the tide is carefully watched, and the road inland through Lythe village is not particularly interesting, so that one is tempted to use the railway, which cuts right through the intervening high ground by means of two tunnels. The first one is a mile long, and somewhere near the centre has a passage out to the cliffs, so that even if both ends of the tunnel collapsed there would be a way of escape. But this is small comfort when travelling from Kettleness, for the down gradient towards Sandsend is very steep, and in the darkness of the tunnel the train gets up a tremendous speed, bursting into the open just where a precipitous drop into the sea could be most easily accomplished.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
