About this book
Yorkshire's cliffs, hills and industrial towns occupy the same pages in Walter White's account of travel through the county. He takes an interest in woollen manufacture, coal and iron as well as scenery, and his foreword defends frank observations about smoky Sheffield and the cost of staying at inns. Local speech gives his encounters a particular texture, including a host's indignant response to criticism of his establishment.
A conversation with miners near Newton brings wages and saving into view. White records their competing suggestions for a shorter route and notices a Berkshire accent among workers drawn north by higher pay. Railways and docks enter his descriptions alongside walks over steep ground, linking the landscape with the business carried on there.
