Moods of the Bronte Moors, Exploring the Moors and Mills of the South Pennines, John Morrison - Perhaps best known as Bronte Country and the home of the talented Victorian novelists, the South Pennines also have as good a claim to be the 'cradle of industry' as anywhere in Britain. The fascination of the area is to see the hand of Man at every turn: the relics of industry, from the genuine cottage industries of spinning and weaving to the mechanisation of the textile mills. But then you climb away from the mill towns, up to the heather moors. Here you can walk old 'causeways' in the footsteps of Packman and Pedlar, and where you are alone with the curlews and the cotton-grass. It's the combination of upland country, well-wooded valleys and characterful mill towns that makes the South Pennines such a fascinating area to explore and photograph, and John Morrison's stunning new book explores every aspect of this vastly under-rated landscape.
