Haworth, Oxenhope & Stanbury From Old Photographs Volume 2 by Steven Wood

In this second volume of Haworth photographs carefully selected by local historian Steven Wood, the focus has shifted to trade and industry. These two companion volumes provide a comprehensive view of this Pennine settlement, and cover most aspects of the township. Many of these photographs have not been published before, and offer a unique and fascinating view of the area's history. Many are familiar with Haworth and its long association with the Brontes, but it was actually one of three villages that made up the township. These pages are full of the people, places and trades that lived here in the past, and is essential reading for anyone who knows and loves this popular and treasured part of Yorkshire.
Steven Wood has been living in Haworth for over twenty years. Since retiring from Bradford University’s School of Pharmacy he has devoted himself to the study of the history of the Haworth area with extensive walking and field work in the upper Worth valley backed up by research in libraries and archive offices. He regularly leads historical walks in the area and gives talks on its history. He has published four books on the Haworth area.
