Now Then: A Biography of Yorkshire

A biographical mosaic of God’s Own County which combines social history, memoir and author interviews. Exiled Yorkshireman Rick Broadbent visits scenes of industrial neglect and forgotten tragedy, and unpicks the truth about well-known Yorkshire figures and institutions. Featuring Kes, the Sheffield Outrages and the most controversial poem ever written, as well as a heroic dog, a lost albatross and a stuffed crocodile, Now Then is an affectionate but unsparing look at a county, its inhabitants and their flinty vowels.
