South Yorkshire

"South Yorkshire" is an illuminating insight into the history of this fascinating area, which includes the conurbations of Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley as well as innumerable smaller towns, villages and hamlets.

Geoffrey Howse's well-chosen photographs depict life in bygone days, men and women at work, beautiful village scenes and now-vanished industrial sites, buildings and streets, and notable personalities who have shaped the region.

Of interest to anyone who knows and loves Yorkshire, Geoffrey Howse's new book opens a window on the past, and in two hundred images encapsulates the diversity of this area.
