History and Heritage Yorkshire Magazine June 2025 Edition

Welcome to our June edition of History and Heritage Yorkshire magazine. We hope it is as sunny and enjoyable as the summer weather. Once again it is full of the usual eclectic mix of articles covering a period of over one thousand years of the region's history and heritage.

Step into the past with stories both grand and everyday as we bring Yorkshire’s rich history to life. Discover the quiet beauty of a medieval bridge chapel, the curious tale of Ravenscar, the seaside resort that never was, and the sweet legacy of Pontefract liquorice. We explore the engineering genius of John Smeaton, the drama of the Castleford corn riots, and the life and words of Horbury-born writer Stan Barstow. All this and more besides. From hidden gems to defining moments, it's a journey through Yorkshire’s proud and surprising heritage.

As always, the magazine is available on a pay what you can basis — with no minimum amount. While contributions help sustain the magazine, I firmly believe that personal circumstances should never be a barrier to exploring history and heritage. This way, everyone can enjoy the stories of Yorkshire’s past.

Simply insert the amount you would like to pay, download the file and enjoy!
