Stuart Lines will talk about the rise and fall of the Bradford canal – how the canal system reached the city of Bradford and why it died.
The author Rosemary Cook will tell us about Dr Gramshaw, who was a successful family doctor in Yorkshire for thirty-five years, until his final desperate actions brought his professional and personal life crashing down around him
Our first “members and partners” outing of the year is to the Ryedale Winery, NE of York, where we will have an afternoon cream tea, a tour of the vineyard, and a wine-tasting. Transport will be on a self-drive basis and, weather permitting, the visit should be extremely enjoyable.
More details will be published in due course.
