Dalby: Valley of Change |
|
by John Rushton and Brian Walker |
|
In a deep Yorkshire valley, four miles north-east of
the old market town of Pickering, a tiny village called Low Dalby
nestles between pasture and forest. |
|
John Rushton traces the history of Dalby from
prehistoric times to the twentieth century. He describes the life
of the valley under the Normans and Plantagenets when Dalby and
surrounding areas were part of a royal forest, and explains the changes
over subsequent years to mixed farming and finally back to forestry. |
|
Originally published in 1976 as a guide for
teachers, "Dalby: Valley of Change" has been out of print and
unobtainable for many years. This revised edition with new
illustrations includes an additional chapter by Brian Walker on the
present-day life of the valley and its hopes for the future. |
