Area Guide For West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire has undergone a lot of change and transformation from being an industrial textile hub to the scenic locale of today. Back in the day it was littered with factories, mills and canals to facilitate the production queues, but it’s not as bleak now even though you can see some remnants of the past. The county itself consists of different areas, including the cities of Bradford and Leeds. Both of these also have an industrial background but are constantly struggling to improve their image, beautify their centres and attract tourists.
