A warm & engaging memoir from the star of Channel 5's popular series ' The Yorkshire Vet'. From work experience under James Herriot to eventually taking over his practice in the Yorkshire Dales, Peter Wright tells the hilarious & heartbreaking story of his encounters with creatures of all shapes & sizes. ...

The Idea of the 'gentler & fairer sex' is hard to find in these stories of murder by women in all parts of Yorkshire. Some are tales of marital tension & tragedy, while others are sad accounts of infanticide while under mental duress. The media like a crime of passion story, as in the life & death of Ruth Ellis, & Yorkshire has its own women killers in that category, but the glamour is an illusion: women killing their partners or husbands is never melodramatic & always terrible, as these tales show. Here the reader will meet the Leeds double murderer Louie Calvert, Mary Bateman the poisoner, the Hull woman who hired a hit-man & many more tales of violence & death across the Ridings. But behind these stories, Stephen Wade also explores the uneasy relationship between social change & the criminal law, so the courtrooms as well as the murder scenes have their absorbing & dramatic stories. ...

Pleasure piers are among the most distinctive & memorable creations of Victorian Britain. These magnificent & evocative buildings represent the exuberant, optimistic style of the British seaside resort at the peak of its popularity, & the Yorkshire coast possessed no less than six of these extraordinary structures. Today, only the pier at Saltburn-by-the-Sea remains, &, as a whole, only half of the numbers of piers built survive as fascinating relics of a lost age. In this meticulously researched & highly illustrated account, Martin Easdown tells the story of the rise & fall of Yorkshire's seaside piers. The piers he principally describes in his lively narrative are the long-lost structures at Coatham, Redcar, Scarborough, Hornsea & Withernsea, plus the county's only surviving pleasure pier at Saltburn-by-the-Sea. He looks how they were designed & constructed, at the men who built & financed them, & at the hazards that beset them
- fire, storm, ship collision, war damage & ever-threat of insolvency, that heralded their demise. The author, who is an acknowledged expert on the history of piers, gives a vivid insight into the deep impact of these structures on the social life, the economy & the character of the Yorkshire towns in which they were built. His entertaining book reveals
- & records
- a neglected aspect of Yorkshire's history.
