Today, 18th April, is #worldheritageday and nowhere is heritage more significant than Yorkshire, where a rich history provides the heritage that gives it a unique culture. 18th May is Yorkshire's most important heritage event: https://t.co/xQFIzfmd2P #WorldHeritage

@WminsterGuides Sorry to miss this

[Rosemary Barnes @RosemaryGuide]

@WminsterGuides Yes I was sorry to miss this talk I'm sure it was very interesting

[Rosemary Barnes @RosemaryGuide]

Tremendous news for #Bradford and the North in general
I'm looking forward to welcoming visitors to this vibrant and emergent city. Well done everyone who worked on the bid

[James Mason @JamesMason_78]

This is the confidence that being named as the #CityofCulture2025 gives to a city, to potential investors, other businesses, employers, residents, local authorities, visitors etc
Great sentiment Marko. Hopefully many others will follow. 🚀

[Geoff Walsh @Geoff_Walsh_npc]

A thank you from all at @YorksSociety from friends across Yorkshire and beyond. Acknowledging a life of service. Please pass this on.

[Rosemary Barnes @RosemaryGuide]

I was working in #Bradford2025 recently just brushing up my knowledge of the city in anticipation of the many visitors expectec

[James Mason @JamesMason_78]

Fingers crossed for a Bradford win!

However, regardless of who wins, it’s great that culture & multiculturalism is being discussed & celebrated across the UK.

Both @LEEDS_2023 & @bradford2025 have already created some great positive energy, collaboration and activity.

Tate Wilkinson also operated a theatre in #Pontefract for a while and is buried at All Saints Church in #York

#WednesdayWonders: Clogs became popular in the Industrial Revolution. Strong footwear was popular in the Lancashire mills. Clog dancing may have started with mill workers syncopating foot taps to the rhythmic sounds of the loom shuttles.
