There are lots of reasons people love Yorkshire, and in fact, some would argue that its picture-postcard landscapes and charming rural villages put the region at the top of the list. Artists, painters, musicians, and poets have all been inspired by the country. Here in a selection of features, amateur films show the beauty and bounty the countryside has to offer. Post-war mechanization changed many aspects of the farming industry and rural life, but tradition lives on with the hands-on craftmanship of drystone walling and hedge laying distinctive to the Yorkshire countryside. Also featured is renowned craftsman Robert Thompson, best known for his trademark mouse. Early in his carving career a fellow carver remarked, "We are as poor as church mice." which inspired the first carving. Thompson observed that the mouse chews away at the hardwood unnoticed, and this became a fitting symbol for, "industry in a quiet place" remembering that for a long-time ecclesiastical work was his main trade.
