Yorkshire Stridings is an incisive, intelligent guide to the history and landscape of Yorkshire from a renowned social documentary photographer and one of Britain’s most popular poets.
Ian McMillan and Ian Beesley have spent years walking through the landscape, history, towns and cities of their native Yorkshire and have recorded the uniqueness of the area in poetry and photography. Ian Beesley’s evocative photographs and Ian McMillan’s witty, moving poetry provide a portrait of Yorkshire’s past and present, its history and culture, and landscapes that have remained unchanged for generations.
From the iconic landscape of Ilkley moor and the limestone pavements of Airedale, the gothic coast around Whitby to the factories and mills of the industrial past, and the lost coalfields of South Yorkshire this is a sharply observed, personal, interpretation of ‘God’s Own County’ from two of its most popular native artists
