Around & About Yorkshire
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2014
Yorkshire is England's largest county and attracts millions of visitors every year. Whether you are coming here on holiday, spending a day out or simply interested in all aspects of Yorkshire. We have been recording places, events, its history, industry and community on film for the past 20 years. Our aim is to bring hundreds of short films for people to see and enjoy and, hopefully, go and explore for themselves!
We have produced a range of films including: The History of Leeds; The History of Horsforth; The History of Aireborough; York: From Romans to Today; The History of Otley; The History of Ilkley; A Year on the Bolton Abbey Estate; A Visitor's guide to Wharfedale; The History of Skipton; The History of Pudsey; The History of Knaresborough & Harrogate; The Aire Valley: From Bingley to Baildon; Yorkshire Customs & Traditions; Yorkshire at Christmas; Around & About Yorkshire Vols 1-5; Discover Yorkshire; The History of Yorkshire (2 DVDs).

History of Horsforth

Forgotten Spas of Yorkshire
มุมมอง 4093 ปีที่แล้ว
We've all heard of Harrogate, Ilkley and Scarborough - but what about Slaithwaite, Askern or Wetherby? They've all had them, but only shone brightly for a very short time - mostly 1820-1890 and then disappeared.

The Leeds-Selby line was the first to be built in Yorkshire in 1834 - and some of the original station can still be seen in Selby (more of it in our Selby film). Most of the railways were centred on York, as George Hudson, "The Railway King", mayor of York, saw that it would be a great boon to the city - indeed, the medieval wall was breeched to allow it in. Although today's station, one of Bri...
