Forgotten Yorkshire and Parts of North Derbyshire and Humberside
Yorkshire. It’s the original ‘Big County’ and you may think you know all you need to know about it. But think again. Forgotten Yorkshire & Parts of North Derbyshire and Humberside introduces readers to hidden mysteries, tales and ‘facts’ they may well have either forgotten or simply never known in the first place. Some of them may even be true.
The TMB will donate £2 from royalties to our General Yorkshire Food Bank Fund for every copy bought via Amazon, in perpetuity.
It so closely resembles my own book Forgotten Lancashire and Parts of Cheshire and the Wirral that I can only say that it is an act of plagiarism so foul and putrid that all the perfumes in Debenhams could not remove it.”
Fabulous!
Astounding…deserves to turn up in a lot of people’s stockings this Christmas. If it does, there’ll be laughter guaranteed in the household.

This book attempts to restore the reputation of one of the north’s forgotten film directors.
