North York Moors Through Time by Paul Chrystal
The North York Moors is one of Britain's most beautiful and picturesque rural areas. This book provides an at-a-glance picture of some of the towns and villages here through 200 or so images which, on each page, show particular parts of the Moors at the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century and how those same places look today in 2010. From Guisborough to Helmsley, from Osmotherley to Fylingdales the book will give residents past and present and visitors an intriguing glimpse of yesterday and today taking in the rich history of the region: industry, railways, religion, education and commerce as well as some of the fascinating people who lived here are all covered in old and new pictures and informative, incisive captions.
