Yorkshire Villages - Dave Zdanowicz

. .

Résumé :
Yorkshire is a county of enormous contrasts. Outside its large urban centres, its villages represent a way of life that often feels unchanging. The villages are part of the landscape, whether remote upland, agricultural, coastal or even industrial, and the buildings in these villages reflect the local materials and the evolving working life of the villages. The National Parks of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales are justly famous, as is the extensive North Sea coastline, but there is much more to Yorkshire than this, from the East Riding which historically grew rich on the wool trade, the Humber estuary, the wealthy monastic houses of the Middle Ages, later stately homes, to the mining villages of South Yorkshire, the textile industry in West Yorkshire and remote Pennine settlements. In Yorkshire Villages, photographer Dave Zdanowicz takes a fresh look at Yorkshire, through its huge variety of villages and their setting in the scenery of the region, that makes Yorkshire special. For those who live in the county and its many thousands of visitors this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see why this largest county of England has such enduring appeal....
