Book Description
As we age our outlook on life changes. Throughout our carefree youth and busy adult years, working, producing, and rearing future generations, our focus is on just that, the here and now. We don't think that our parents are watching and enjoying for the second time what we are seeing as a whole new life experience.Now that my youth and working years are done and the whole new life experience of retirement is unfolding before me I have time to reflect. A few years ago I enjoyed writing the memoirs of my early working life in "Bricks and Mortar" and now I have taken to writing some of the precious memories of my youth. I hope that my jottings of a time in my formative years might also awaken your own memories of a similar era in your own life and if so then that is my gift to you. A time without responsibility or care, when life was all before us, and tomorrow was a world away. We lived for the here and now; days were long and weeks longer.I hope you enjoy my words as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Book Description
Over the centuries Yorkshire, the largest and most varied country in England, has helped to shape the history of the nation. From the barrier of the Pennines in the west to the bastion of Falmborough in the east, the region has seen war, insurrection, invention, industrial expansion, political and social development and pioneering achievements in literature, art and science. In this unconventional guide to the people and the places that played parts in this extraordinary story, author Len Markham takes the reader across the country and down the years. He retells the stories of many of the well-known sites and uncovers the intriguing, sometimes secret history of places that are rarely remembered and visited. Along the way he describes the careers and achievements of an exceptional cast of characters- monarchs, bishops, generals, industrialists, inventors, artists, renegades, rogues, eccentrics, murderers and otherwise ordinary men and woman who made a mark for good or ill on the heritage of the country. Over 150 evocative sites are described and illustrated in this invaluable handbook to the intense, sometimes bizarre and always revealing history of Yorkshire.
