Book Description
This area of Yorkshire's West Riding was one of the parts of Britain most affected by the Industrial Revolution and its major towns are still synonymous with manufacturing, mining and the textile industry. The area was densely populated so demand for freight and passenger railway services was immense, resulting in many lines. The network has been cut back hugely in the years since the end of steam, but the glory days are recalled in this book which features 135 period photographs.

Book Description
Had Tolkien not spent nearly 18 months convalescing in the East Riding of Yorkshire, he would probably not have survived the Great War. By August 1918, his battalion, the 11th Lancashire Fusiliers, had suffered so many casualties that the unit was disbanded. This text, which contains a number of previously unpublished details about the author's stay, is a ride around the corners of East Yorkshire that have a Tolkien connection.
