We would like to thank all the many readers for expressing their delight in the contents and the look of the annual publication of the Yorkshire Journal. Many of you though were disappointed that you would have to wait a year between issues. So, welcome to the first edition of the Yorkshire Review This will published in Spring, Summer and Autumn with readers’ photographs, short stories, poems and one or two articles to supplement the annual journal. We would like to encourage writers and photographers, amateur and professionals, to submit their work for inclusion in the annual journal or the review.
In this Spring review are two articles that we hope you will find interesting, and as always we welcome your comments, the first one is by John A. White, on a tribute to A. J. Brown’s life and literary works as a devoted advocate for the Dales. A. J. Brown has been commemorated by a blue plaque at the Hermit Inn in Burley Woodhead. We stay in the area for our second article by Jeremy Clark, he examines a Prehistoric Cup and Ring Carved Rock from Rombalds Moor that was situated near the former Keighley bus station and is now in Cliff Castle Museum, Keighley. Before these two articles there is a short note to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1968 publication of the literary classic ‘A kestrel for a knave’.
Although we are proud of our journal we recognise that there is much excellent material with a Yorkshire content which is freely available on the internet. The problem of course is finding it among all the material available. I will be happy to recommend one or two sites each quarter – and would be most interested to hear which sites you rate most highly.
This quarter’s recommendation is the site of the Northern Antiquarian (TNA), an amateur educational group which engages people of all social backgrounds on the rich diversity of prehistoric and early Christian remains in the British Isles, from Mesolithic times (c.7000 BC) until the coming of the written word in the Dark Ages (5th -15th century). While the site covers the whole country there are over 500 entries for Yorkshire, which can easily be isolated using the regional selection menu. The link including Yorkshire is https://megalithix.wordpress.com/category/brigantia-northern-england/

Diligent readers may remember that there is a parallel project to spotlight Pennine Magazine, one of our illustrious predecessors. 24 selected articles from Volume 3 and 4, covering 1981/82/83 have just been uploaded to https://penninemagazine.wordpress.com/volume-3/ and https://penninemagazine.wordpress.com/volume-4/
Hopefully you will find much of interest to read in the evenings before the clocks go forward and in the days of spring when it is too damp and cool to get out and about.
