Yorkshire
Published in 1828, Pigot's Directory includes the following in
its description of Yorkshire: "The climate of Yorkshire may altogether be
considered as not unhealthy; along the coast next to the German ocean it is very
hilly, bleak and cold; the most unwholesome district being where the morasses
and bogs prevail; and in the low parts of the west riding fogs and damps are
severely felt.
As a manufacturing district, Yorkshire may be reckoned the
second in the kingdom; the manufacture of woollen cloths of every description
have been brought to such a state of perfection as to be considered equal, and
in many respects superior, to those made in other places. The iron works,
which contribute materially to the opulence of the county, are very extensive,
and find employment to multitudes of mechanics, miners, etc...
The north and east ridings abound with various sorts of stone
for building, slate and limestone; there are also several springs of mineral
waters, justly celebrated for their efficacy in various diseases. It also
possesses many material advantages and importance from the numerous coal and
other mines, which yield abundance of fuel, metal, etc. for the various
manufactories. It has long been famous for the excellence of its breed of
horses, particularly the east riding, in almost every part of which considerable
numbers are still bred; the prevailing species are those adapted to the coach
and saddle. There are also many kinds of sheep bred, which are famous both
for their size and goodness, and great quantities of the Scotch breed are fed in
the low parts of the county. The horned cattle of this county are
considered equal, both in number and quality, to any other, and supplies the
metropolis of Great Britain with a considerable portion..."
