My book is now available to buy (see left). This 'print on demand' technology is very exciting. The book has been 'in development' since last summer, and getting it to print stage has been an interesting journey, and a rather longer one than expected. I hope it will be of interest to visitors to this website - particularly anyone who likes cycling off away from the city centre itself. Read more ...
Recently added: a visit to the light and bright newly-refurbished Yorkshire Museum, and at last I've got around to noting changes at the Nestle South (Rowntree) factory site. Also included, new pages on cycle rides to nearby villages, and a page on Alne church.
It's been a while, a long while, since I added anything to this site. I've been writing a book, and all my spare time energies have gone into that. It's non-fiction, a 'local interest' publication to be produced via 'Print on Demand' technology, and I'm in the process of trying to organise all its parts into some kind of order.
Meanwhile, there's a lot to catch up on, and a few updates are underway. I've just added a page on the refurbished York Central Library - 'York Explore', and an accompanying page on exploring the 'cultural quarter'.
Just added: a short wander through the Curvy 1930s, a page on Rowntree Park, and some photos of a Victorian school building soon to be redeveloped.
Just added: some pages on traffic, old ring road plans, etc, a page on almshouses founded by women, and a page on WW2 bomber memorials.
Making these pages means looking more carefully at things I was previously unaware of, or took for granted. In this batch of pages I've discovered heroic men, inspiring women - and something awful that nearly happened in the 1970s.
