Welcome to Yorkshire

I will try not to rant on too much about Yorkshire

Picture
Yorkshire is a historic county of northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom.Within the borders of the historic county of Yorkshire are areas which are widely considered to be among the greenest in England, due to the vast stretches of unspoiled countryside in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors and to the open aspect of some of the major cities.

Yorkshire largely has a mixed economy. City of Leeds is Yorkshire's largest city and is the main centre of trade and commerce. Leeds is one of the UK's largest financial centres. Leeds' traditional industries have been mixed between the service-based
industries as well as textile manufacturing and coal mining to the south and east of the city. Sheffield traditionally has had heavy industrial manufacturing such as coal mining and the steel industry.

The most successful football clubs founded in Yorkshire are Barnsley, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers, York City, Huddersfield Town,
Hull City, Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, four of which have been the league champions with Huddersfield being the first club to win three consecutive league titles.
