Visit to Yorkshire

We love Yorkshire and we love our friends in Yorkshire.

The statue is of J B Priestley, outside the Museum of Photogaphy, Film and TV in Bradford. Any captions?

The grave is for an RAF crew, whose bomber ploughed into the hillside near Uffington White Horse.

Purvs Corner is in Haworth, home of the Brontës.

Haworth Church

The board of Incumbents is of interest. The fiddling around (and negative descriptions) in the Puritan era, and the presence of William Grimshaw in the list make this place fascinating, even before arriving at the Brontë surname.

Saltaire

This "ideal" town, an exercise in Non-conformist, philanthropic capitalism, is an amazing place to visit. Titus Salt - man of big vision, or just big ego? Or the mixture that we all are?


People

What we really want to be in England for is not places.
