Amberley Publishing Buses in South and West Yorkshire
The Metropolitan counties of South and West Yorkshire have some of the most intensive bus operations outside Birmingham and London. The former metropolitan counties include considerable amounts of rural terrain alongside densely populated urban areas. Author Peter Tucker takes us on a lively photographic tour of the region’s transport scene. The journey takes us everywhere from genteel towns like Horsforth, Ilkley and Wetherby down to areas of heavy industry such as the Don Valley in Sheffield. In between we visit places as contrasting as Barnsley, Dewsbury, Pontefract and Rotherham and Swinton. Yorkshire’s cosmopolitan cities are not forgotten either, as we explore Bradford, Leeds, Sheffield and Wakefield. Featuring operators such as Arriva, First and Stagecoach, this publication also looks back to the 1990s with photographs depicting buses of the now defunct Yorkshire Rider, Yorkshire Traction and West Riding.

Amberley Publishing Teesside's Industrial Landscape
Teesside is a conurbation and industrial area in the north-east of England. Less well known than other significant industrial areas such as Tyneside, the Potteries and the Black Country, Teesside has a valuable industrial heritage. Based principally on the towns of Billingham, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby, Teesside was a key area for engineering, iron and steel, shipbuilding and the production of chemicals. Today, chemicals and engineering are still important in an area that has been hit hard by industrial decline. Intrigued by the stark functional beauty of Teesside’s heavy industry, Peter Tucker began photographing the area’s industrial landscape in the 1990s. This book provides a valuable visual record of Hartlepool and Teesside’s heavy industry in recent times, plus some of the surprising, more conventionally attractive places in the area. It will be of immense interest for enthusiasts of local history, industry, photography and the north-east region.
