A piece of Yorkshire history in danger of being lost has been rebuilt for future generations. #Yorkshire

[Dave: The Steel City Snapper @steelcitysnaps]

It looks like the rebuilding of the old @HendoRelish factory on Leavygreave Road is complete, at least on the outside! The two-storey redbrick building dates from the late 19th century, but it isn’t listed. It’s been painstakingly rebuilt from the original bricks! #Sheffield

@britgardhistory It’s a term first coined by estate agents and it refers to a particularly affluent and desirable area.

Yorkshire’s Rhubarb Triangle.
(Yorkshire’s Golden Triangle is formed by Harrogate, York and Leeds.)
Great photo nonetheless.

[British Gardening History @britgardhistory]

Gathering forced rhubarb for the spring markets in West Yorkshire's 'golden triangle', 1940s.

The triangle is the centre of the world for rhubarb, bordered by Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford. In 2010 Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb was awarded Protected Designation of Origin status.
