This time he has widened his scope to include the whole district of Ryedale, from Helmsley and beyond in the west to Ebberston in the east, and from Malton in the south to Rosedale Fylingdales in the north.  Once again, the majority of the photographs come from the enormous number taken by Sydney Smith in the fi rst half of the twentieth century. Smith was renowned for the meticulous preparation on his subjects, sometimes requiring the 'human interest' to perform the same task several times or hold a heavy burden for many minutes! Smith's photographs are complemented by further images from other local photographers.  Every aspect of life in bygone Ryedale is covered here, including long-forgotten village scenes, agriculture, blacksmiths, traders, farmers and others at work and the leisure activities of a gentler age. The two world wars have a chapter devoted to them, as do the various local forms of transport. The book ends with a look at some of the more extreme weather to have hit the area, from snowdrifts to floods and June hailstorms.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49524803666193,"sku":"GOR006013065","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50811610300689,"sku":"GOR014082504","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1445601141.jpg?v=1760521928"},{"product_id":"pickering-through-time-book-gordon-clitheroe-9781848685512","title":"Pickering Through Time","description":"Pickering Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Pickering, its well-known streets and famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this town throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of this market town's history.  Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of Pickering, as Gordon Clitheroe guides us through the local streets.  There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting for the first time.  Pickering Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49554920833297,"sku":"GOR006781416","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53216955564305,"sku":"GOR006675330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53349416861969,"sku":"GOR014866676","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848685513.jpg?v=1763221821"},{"product_id":"pickering-book-gordon-clitheroe-9780752416977","title":"Pickering","description":"This book is part of the Images of England series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in England, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571770663185,"sku":"GOR003998441","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697278488849,"sku":"NGR9780752416977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0752416979.jpg?v=1750945815"},{"product_id":"ryedale-through-time-book-gordon-clitheroe-9781848689305","title":"Ryedale Through Time","description":"The beautiful area of Ryedale is made up of changing towns and villages, each with its own story to tell. Luckily for us, some of the people and places have been recorded by local photographers to show the past for future generations, along with some of the changes that have taken place over the last century. The last sixty years have seen the demise of most of the village craftsmen and their way of life; they are gone, but now they will never be forgotten.  'In this unique record I have tried to show comparisons of not only a changing landscape, but also a changing way of life. I hope that my love of Ryedale comes across in the knowledge that I pass on to you, in this, my fifth book. Enjoy the book and marvel, or weep, at the changes that have taken place in such a short period of time.' - Gordon Clitheroe","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49620523286801,"sku":"GOR009406544","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50005659517201,"sku":"GOR007326338","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848689306.jpg?v=1763225179"},{"product_id":"ryedale-book-gordon-clitheroe-9780752420707","title":"Ryedale","description":"This outstanding collection of nearly 250 images complements the author’s previous book on Pickering in this series.
