<p>The physical nature of the South Yorkshire landscape varies between high plateaus and low lying wetlands which are only just above sea level. Against this canvas, the activities of countless generations who have exploited the wealth of natural resources to be found in the area, have left a many layered record of human activity extending from the stone, bronze and iron ages, through to the Industrial Revolution and down to the present day. This copiously illustrated book guides the reader to an understanding of how this complex landscape has developed. Subjects covered include prehistoric landscapes, place names, hamlets, villages and towns, the farmed countryside, woodlands, forts and castles, ecclesiastical buildings, parks, gardens and industrial landscapes.
