Dalesman

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on Dalesman

Dalesman is a British monthly regional magazine, based in Skipton, and serving the English county of Yorkshire. Its first edition was published in March 1939, under the original title of The Yorkshire Dalesman: A Monthly Magazine of Dales’ Life and Industry. Although originally only serving the Yorkshire Dales, the magazine was soon expanded to cover the whole county of Yorkshire, with a particular focus on the countryside and over the years it has become a northern institution.It remains the biggest selling regional consumer magazine in the UK and Yorkshire’s best selling magazine.

Dalesman 1939 04 April #2 (2)

I have 981 Dalesman titles in stock including the first one from 1939. I am a bit sparse on the last couple of years but only have about 5 or 6 dates missing in between. They are the ideal birthday or anniversary gift for Yorkshire Folk.

I do have other Dalesman publications other than the magazines so if you are looking for any particular date or other publication please ask me. I am not cheap but my prices are realistic.

Many of the covers make excellent cards and are great for framing.

Just a few of the titles available for £2.50, granted Snowdonia is not near Yorkshire but you can get there in a couple of hours, traffic permitting that is.

“Dalesman” Mini Books

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on “Dalesman” Mini Books

I don’t restrict myself to the “Dalesman” magazine, I look out for all their publications even when they stray out of God’s Own County (GOC).

 

Exploring: The Lake District, North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Coast (three Books)

Lakeland A to Z

Matlock

Peak District Walks

Roman Derbyshire

Shepherds Crooks and Walking Sticks

Walking in; Airedale : Bronte Country : North Yorkshire Moors : Lower Wharfedale : Upper Wharfedale

Yorkshire Mysteries and Oddities

All are available along with many other Dalesman publications, though if you intend visiting my shop and you are interested let me know as they are all at home as I intend getting round to reading them, especially the “walking” books. As the bumper sticker should say “Bibliophiles just read about it”.

PUSH & PULL … The magazine of Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on PUSH & PULL … The magazine of Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

 

30 issues from 1965 (Ninepence) to 1972 (at 10p) shows you what decimalisation did.

I tried for a varied sample of covers but surprisingly enough they all feature trains, there is one issue covering the filming of “The Railway Children”

I am looking for £5.00 for the lot. Less than the price of two copies in 1972. A bargain in anyone’s language.

The YORKSHIRE DALESMAN 1940

I did debate about showing all the covers as the illustration only changes once (apart from colour, for Americans that’s color ) but they do have an index of sorts on the cover.

Local History

As I have previously said, everything is local to someone, I could also add if it ain’t now it’s History.

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on A Freedom Dearly Bought – Ernest Ackroyd

Freedom Dearly Bought 583

Ernest Ackroyd was a survivor of the notorious “Railway of Death” and enforced slave labour in Japan. The 122 (West Riding) Field Regiment Royal Artillery TA was formed in 1939 and ceased to exist in 1942 with the fall of Singapore.

13 members of the regiment were “Killed in Action”, more than 200 more of the young Bradford men died in captivity.

This is Ernest’s account of their ordeal. A near fine signed copy £10.00
