Description
Articles written by James Walton for a series on rural life around Huddersfield, and local tales and sayings, published in the 'Huddersfield Weekly Examiner' in 1933 and 1938 respectively. The geographical area covered in these articles is known as Kirklees.
The 'Rural Life' series includes articles on sowing, harvesting and storing crops, craftsmen connected with the farm, woodcutters, the miller, the poacher, country sports, land divisions, farm employees, the farmer's wife and social life on the farm. The 'Local Tales' series includes village tales, sayings and proverbs and children's rhymes.
Articles on the iron industry in Colnebridge (apparently not by Walton), and the Three Nuns Inn at Cooper Bridge, Huddersfield, are also included.
