At the turn of the century, Yorkshire, along with the rest of the British empire, was preparing to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee an optimistic time, though the pomp masked poverty and harsh working and living conditions in the countryside and in the manufacturing cities. Here, a selection of historical photos interspersed with text extracts of writings either produced between 1880 and 1914, or recording the authors' recollections of that time profile the society that flourished in Yorkshire, where a distinctive sense of identity and character existed then and continues today.
