Considering the proximity of West Yorkshire to South Yorkshire and the convenient, if sometimes very busy roads that connect the two, I wonder why we haven't visited more often. These are some of the places I visited in the long ago, before I had even switched on a computer, let alone begun write these pages. I will try and revisit some time.
