Book Synopsis Staithes, Runswick and Robin Hood's Bay Through the Magic Lantern by : Andrew Gill
Download or read book Staithes, Runswick and Robin Hood's Bay Through the Magic Lantern written by Andrew Gill and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 19th century, there was a yearning for times past, when England's towns and cities were unpolluted by belching factory chimneys and the pace of life was slower. Some of the finest Victorian photographers took and sold photographs which reflected this pre-industrial, perceived 'golden age' and the visual charm of Yorkshire's fishing villages provided suitable locations and subjects. Over one hundred years later, these photographs enable us to step back in time and experience fragmentary moments in the lives of our Victorian ancestors. This 35 page booklet reproduces thirty four photographs of Staithes, Runswick and Robin Hood's Bay from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive. Most of them were taken by Graystone Bird who won many awards for his photography but is now virtually unknown because of the 'forgotten' format in which his images were published ..... glass 'magic lantern' projection slides. The text is from a Victorian travel guide which provides a fascinating general description and history of the County of Yorkshire.

Book Synopsis Lands End to John O'groats with a Bus Pass and a Dog by : Eric Newton
Download or read book Lands End to John O'groats with a Bus Pass and a Dog written by Eric Newton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an account of a journey using local service buses from Lands End in the deepest south west of England up to John OGroats in the far north east of Scotland. With the issue of free bus passes to all British citizens over the age of sixty, the author decided to maximise the use of his in undertaking this 1,230 mile trip. By way of being different, the author decided to take with him, his dog Archie, a Jack Russell / cairn terrier cross, as he too enjoys travelling. The book is not just a travel log across and up the length of Britain, but includes much historical and general information of towns and cities visited with time taken at the various stop-over points to look around and explore. In addition to the exploits of the authors dog, the book contains his thoughts and observations during the journey. Some of these are referred to as Rants made on the authors own admission as being a grumpy old man. The detailed planning and preparation of the trip is explained that deliberately took in many historic towns and cities. From Penzance, the route traverses England through Exeter, Bath Oxford, Leicester, Lincoln and then across the Humber and up the east coast by Scarborough, Durham, Newcastle and onto Berwick before crossing the border into Scotland. From here on, the bus journey followed the east coast through Edinburgh, over the Firth of Forth to Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Dornoch and Wick before reaching their final destination at John OGroats. The book has been written in a light vein and contains an element of humour. Hopefully, the reader will become a little more knowledgeable about this historic and beautiful island of ours by the end. It is certainly true that travel does broaden the mind.
Book Synopsis Beside the Seaside by : John Heywood
Download or read book Beside the Seaside written by John Heywood and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining, illustrated history of over 4 centuries of life among the seaside resorts along the Yorkshire coast. Almost all of us have happy memories of excursions and holidays spent beside the sea. For many, these include the Yorkshire coast which runs unbroken for more than one hundred miles between the two great rivers, the Tees and the Humber. Within those boundaries are the popular seaside resorts of Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington as well as numerous smaller and quieter but equally well-loved destinations. How did the love affair with the area start and how did it develop? Over the years, all the ingredients for the perfect holiday are there—the spas, the sea and sun bathing, board and lodgings, entertainment and just as importantly, the journeys there and back. Beside the Seaside takes a detailed but entertaining look back at the history of these resorts over the last four hundred years and asks, “What does the future hold?” Packed with information, this book is fully illustrated with photographs, old and new, together with paintings and etchings. Coupled with the thoughts and memories of tourists and travellers from the 17th century through to the present time, it gives a fascinating insight into how our ancestors would have spent their time at the coast. Evocative and intriguing, absorbing and surprising, John Heywood’s book will appeal both to those familiar with the area and to others who just enjoy being “Beside the Seaside”. Praise for Beside the Seaside “While the author delights the reader with some splendidly nostalgic content—with illustrations to match—there’s also some reflection on the changing times, a current renaissance and future possibilities. A good book to take with you on your hols.” —Best of British, July 2018, Book of the Month “A brief but fascinating history of the popular seaside resorts of God’s own country.” —Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine “John’s fabulous book examines people’s fascination with and love of seaside resorts in Yorkshire, and the evocative photographs and excellent text make this one of the finest advertisements for such resorts to have ever been published. Brilliant!”—Books Monthly

Book Synopsis Sticks and Stones and Other Shenanigans by : Mick Shore
Download or read book Sticks and Stones and Other Shenanigans written by Mick Shore and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sticks and Stones and other Shenanigans is the inspiring story of martial arts instructor extraordinaire Mick Shore, born in Doncaster in 1968 of Irish and Anglo-Indian heritage. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me” so the saying goes, but Mick Shore was to learn that names do indeed hurt. However, he never let anyone see him cry; instead, he used the hateful name calling to make him stronger. Raw truths from the son of an Irishman, former victim of bullying and accomplished all round martial artist in the world of martial arts. Did you know...? In the 18th Century, the faction fighters of Tipperary used to gather together in groups or “fighting factions” to do battle with each other over territory or land disputes. This fighting involved the use of bata or clubs and when the law prohibited the carrying of a club or gavel, the fighters extended these bata to the length of a walking cane to get around the new law. Often the bata had the end or knob filled with lead for greater striking power in combat and this later became known as a shillelagh. In these battles the men would sometimes be accompanied by their wives as backup. These women would put stones into handkerchiefs and using these like a slingshot would throw them at the enemy. As a result, they were referred to as stone throwers or stone chuckers. The men and fighting women of Tipperary were fierce and the faction fighting spread throughout the south of Ireland with the last being held in 1887 in Cappawhite near Cashel, Co Tipperary, only a few miles from where Mick’s family are from and where his father was born.
Book Synopsis Geological Hazards in the UK by : D.P. Giles
Download or read book Geological Hazards in the UK written by D.P. Giles and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK is perhaps unique globally in that it presents the full spectrum of geological time, stratigraphy and associated lithologies within its boundaries. With this wide range of geological assemblages comes a wide range of geological hazards, whether they be geophysical (earthquakes, effects of volcanic eruptions, tsunami, landslides), geotechnical (collapsible, compressible, liquefiable, shearing, swelling and shrinking soils), geochemical (dissolution, radon and methane gas hazards) or georesource related (coal, chalk and other mineral extraction). An awareness of these hazards and the risks that they pose is a key requirement of the engineering geologist. The Geological Society considered that a Working Party Report would help to put the study and assessment of geohazards into the wider social context, helping the engineering geologist to better communicate the issues concerning geohazards in the UK to the client and the public. This volume sets out to define and explain these geohazards, to detail their detection, monitoring and management and to provide a basis for further research and understanding.
