    Index to Yorkshire Journal A full index to the previous year’s issues was published in each Spring issue from 1994 to 2004. It would be extremely time consuming to combine these annual indexes into a single master index, so the annual indexes are individually reproduced in the remainder of this document. Fortunately it is relatively simple to find all references using the search function in your reader – usually this is invoked by pressing the Cntrl and F keys simultaneously. No index exists for the last three 2004 issues, as publication ceased at the end of this year, Each reference is indexed by the issue number (in bold type) followed by the page number.

  • NEWSLETTER 105 WINTER/EARLY SPRING 2019 (Website Edition)
    YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL & HISTORICAL SOCIETY INDUSTRIAL HISTORY SECTION NEWSLETTER 105 WINTER/EARLY SPRING 2019 (website edition) EDITORIAL I start this Newsletter with an apology for the slight delay in the Newsletter production and its format. I am still coming to terms with the loss of my friend and long term IHS member Robert Vickers who for many years had helped me in the final layout of the Newsletter. Robert suddenly passed away on 7 December 2018; he had been suffering from pulmonary fibrosis which had been diagnosed early in 2018. Unfortunately there is no cure for this but the condition can be managed with medication and exercise and we were all hoping that he would have been with us for longer. His condition had worsened by late autumn and he was in the process of handing over some of his responsibilities when he developed a chest infection and died within two days. At his request there was a private cremation but there has been suggestion that something should be done to remember him and his work for the Industrial History Section and the wider Society in a way that can bring friends and colleagues together, possibly a memorial lecture or some other event. I’ll keep you informed about this. If you havn’t seen it, IHS member and YAHS President Gill Cookson has written a blog on the YAHS website to commemorate him. Unfortunately since I produced Newsletter 104 in early September, I experienced several problems with my health which involved two prolonged spells in hospital and several follow up outpatient appointments.

Superb weather, superb catering & steam haulage – what more can I say? Photos of the event appear in this issue, allowing an extended colour section; further copies can be obtained (by email) from the Editor. All enthusiasts will have been sorry to hear of the death of the father of trainspotting, Ian Allan. Without his ABC’s, which first appeared in 1942, where would we be today? Certainly, I doubt if our hobby would be nearly as widespread as it turned out. There obviously was a need for spotting books – some railway companies published their own lists, and your Editor’s father also wrote out his own lists of LMS & LNER locos – but the pocket-sized ABC’s were a brilliant idea, and we have a lot to thank Ian Allan for. The full list of published ABC titles is surprisingly long. We’re happy to be able to congratulate the NRM on its 40th anniversary – long may it continue to be a Mecca for all of us! Editor’s thanks to those members who submitted items of news and photos to keep our magazine flourishing – keep them coming, please! Machu Picchu & the Andes 2014 (Pt.1) Dave Peel Having broken our South American ‘duck’ by visiting Ecuador (and the Galapagos Islands) in June/July, we dipped our toe in the water again with a trip to Peru in September.
