WRITTEN IN MILLSTONE GRIT (part one) by aamora member Fred Shively


To know and love Yorkshire, particularly the West Riding, is to understand the role of 
millstone grit.  In its walls and buildings. Soot covered, moss encrusted. Hewn in blocks, carved into gargoyles and statuary. Laid by hand with or without mortar. Hopefully these images capture what to me is the the very heart and soul of this region.
