An authoritative guide to the Romans in Northern England. 
We hear a lot about the Romans in Lincoln, York, Chester and along Hadrian's Wall and for good reason; these were all strategically vital places in the Roman occupation of the north of England. But there were many other places in the north settled and occupied by the Romans, where they built towns and developed trade, constructed bridges and roads, villas and forts. 
This important book covers all the places where the Roman occupation of the north of England has left its mark: from Buxton and Lincoln in the south of the region to Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall and beyond in the north; from Brough in the east to Chester in the west. Along the way it takes in the exciting new discoveries made at Catterick (Cataractonium) and Scotch Corner; it describes Aldborough and Ambleside; Malton and Doncaster; Ribchester and the magnificent mosaics from Horkstow and Rudston Villa. 
This is an indispensable, detailed and accessible survey of the Roman footprint in the north of England; it is up to date, taking in recent excavations, fully illustrated with maps showing roads, forts, walls, signal stations, villas and towns.

Yorkshire Literary Landscapes celebrates the lives and works of writers and authors who have been influenced by the towns and countryside of Yorkshire. 
Many of these authors were born and lived in the county, and Yorkshire informed their work; others visited to research novels which were set there. 
In either case, the individual landscapes had a profound influence on the writing of these authors, which is evident in their work. 
Authors such as the Brontës, Alan Bennett, Ted Hughes, J. B. Priestley, Susan Hill, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, James Herriot and Elizabeth Gaskell would all find fascinating insight and inspiration from the urban and rural landscapes of Yorkshire, as well as its history and people. 
This book, by renowned Yorkshire writer and historian Paul Chrystal, looks at the lives and works of these authors and many more, describing the Yorkshire landscapes and locations which coloured and influenced their writing and characters, and which can still be visited today. 
Includes historic photographs and illustrations. Perfect for anyone with a love of Yorkshire s history and its varied landscape, whether a tourist or resident in the county.

The history of the Dales through its pubs... 
The Yorkshire Dales boast some of the most beautiful scenery in the British Isles. The National Park attracts tens of thousands of visitors from the UK and overseas every year. They come to enjoy the hills and the valleys, the rivers and the lambs, the villages and... the pubs. 
Some of England s most enjoyable and unspoilt pubs are in the Dales, and in the surrounding market towns, with some dating back many centuries. 
Join historian Paul Chrystal on this pub crawl to end all pub crawls. Take in the histories and anecdotes relating to these fine hostelries because, in many ways, the history of the Dales pubs mirrors the history of the Yorkshire Dales itself. Includes over 100 pubs in, and on the edges of, the Yorkshire Dales National Park with helpful maps to get you there. 
Beautifully illustrated with colour and black and white photographs showing how these pubs looked in the past, and how they remain resplendent today.
