Yorkshire is a county of enormous contrasts. Outside its large urban centres, its villages represent a way of life that often feels unchanging. The villages are part of the landscape, whether remote upland, agricultural, coastal or even industrial, and the buildings in them reflect the local materials and the evolving working life of the villages. The National Parks of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales are justly famous, as is the extensive North Sea coastline, but there is much more to Yorkshire than this, from the East Riding which historically grew rich on the wool trade, the Humber Estuary, the wealthy monastic houses of the Middle Ages, later stately homes, to the mining villages of South Yorkshire, the textile industry in West Yorkshire and remote Pennine settlements.In Yorkshire Villages, Dave Zdanowicz and Paul Zdanowicz take a fresh look at this beautiful county through its huge variety of villages. For those who live in Yorkshire and its many thousands of visitors, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see why this charming county has such enduring appeal.

Haworth is famous throughout the world as the home of the Brontë sisters. The Bronte Parsonage attracts many visitors and the village has retained much of its historic fabric. The atmospheric landscape of the Yorkshire Moors surrounding the village has a special beauty and there are numerous other attractions in the area, not least the heritage Keighley & Worth Valley steam railway. In many ways Haworth takes you back to a bygone era, which although picturesque today life was often harsh in the nineteenth century and most people had harsh working lives in the local industries.In this book Yorkshire photographer Dave Zdanowicz presents a stunning present-day photographic portrait of Haworth – including inside some of the most interesting buildings - and the beautiful surrounding area.
