Yorkshire is packed with interesting places. Here's nine you definitely should not miss ...
7. Luddite Memorial
This is the only memorial in the country dedicated to the Luddites. These were a group of political activists who brought havoc to the new factories of the Industrial Revolution by wrecking new machines. The statue depicts a cropper brandishing shears – a traditional job threatened by late 18th-century mechanisation. It can be found in Halifax Road, Liversedge.
8. Freddie Gilroy and Belsen Stragglers
Freddie Gilroy sits on a bench facing the North Sea in Scarborough’s North Bay. He is wrapped up in an overcoat, a cloth cap pulled down, a walking stick in one hand and the other arm draped across the bench.
He is a giant steel sculpture created by Ray Lonsdale. Freddie Gilroy was a 23-year old miner and one of the first soldier to relieve the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the end of the Second World War.
9. Norton Conyers, Ripon
The story of an 18th-century woman confined in the attic of Norton Conyers gave Charlotte Bronte the idea for her 1847 novel Jane Eyre. Norton Conyers is a grand ancient property north of Ripon. It is open to visitors and many come to marvel at the romantic walled garden laid out in 1760 and still used for supplying the house with flowers, fruit and vegetables.
