Synopsis
Explore the East Riding through rocks, ruins, and real places you can visit.
This concise history blends geology with local stories to show how a coastline and landscape shaped the people who lived here.
From fossil-filled cliffs to medieval streets, this book connects the land you see with the events that happened long ago. It explains how shale, limestone, and chalk reveal an ancient sea, and how alluvium and coastal forces have colored the countryside. Alongside science, you’ll find vivid glimpses of monks, friars, and knights who left marks on towns like Beverley, Hull, and surrounding villages. Rich illustrations and maps help you picture each chapter’s sights and the people who once walked them.
- Learn how East Yorkshire’s geology tells the story of ancient seas and shifting coastlines.
- Discover fossils such as ammonites and belemnites and where to find them nearby.
- Meet the monks, friars, and medieval orders that influenced local life and place names.
- See how the landscape and towns developed through centuries, with clear maps and images to guide you.
Ideal for readers of local history and geography, this edition invites you to view the East Riding with fresh eyes and a curious mind.
