This book tells the fascinating story of the town of Tadcaster in North Yorkshire. By juxtaposing ninety archive images alongside full-colour modern photographs, each page provides a snapshot of the town throughout the ages. The influence of the three breweries – Tower, John Smith, and Sam Smith – that have become synonymous with Tadcaster, and the famous magnesian limestone for which the Romans named their town Calcaria, are explored here.
Also featured are Towton, the site of the biggest and bloodiest battle in the Wars of the Roses, and Boston Spa, the home of the northern British Library. Bramham Park, host to the Bramham Horse Trials and Leeds Festival each year is also included. This edition has been fully updated and revised, with new images of all aspects of life in and around Tadcaster.

This book combines a fascinating selection of 180 modern and archive images that trace some of the many ways in which Haxby, Wigginton, Strensall, Huntington and New Earswick have changed and developed over the last century. This book tells the fascinating stories of five villages situated to the north of the city of York. This revised edition of Villages Around York Through Time will give residents and visitors alike a unique glimpse of how their village used to look.
Looking in particular at the development of schools and churches in Haxby and Huntington, and at Strensall’s historic association with the army, this book also explores the impact of the Foss Navigation and the pioneering, visionary work of the Joseph Rowntree Trust that resulted in the opening of the new Joseph Rowntree School in 2010. Join Paul Chrystal as he takes a closer look at these historic villages.
