Discovering England ' Yorkshire I, Introduction' FRANK WHITAKER

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

This term is to be devoted to discovering Yorkshire, and it is to be discovered in seven talks and a dramatic interlude, for the county of Broad Acres, as it is called, is so big and contains such a variety of places to explore that all this time will be needed to describe it.
Hills and moors and coal-pits are only a part of the county. Not many miles away are some of the loveliest dales in England. Yorkshire, with its rich fertile vale of York, with York its capital citv, with its busy port of Hull and its coast line'120 miles long, is divided into three Ridings, and today, in his introductory talk, Frank Whitaker is to tell listeners among other things what a Riding is. Further speakers in the series are announced in the article ' Introducing Yorkshire ', by W. I. Andrews .. , which will be found on page 6.
