Down Your Way magazine
Down Your Way is a unique
publication. An electic mix of personal nostalgic memories
from the 1930s/40s/50s/60s written by Yorkshire Folks for Yorkshire
Folks. Many have never written a contribution before, but with
guidance from its Yorkshire editor and founder, Averil Thornton,
a previously untapped source of Yorkshire social history has
emerged. This is social history at its best, first-hand experiences
written in the authors’ own language and style and often
accompanied by nostalgic images from the era. Each magazine
has a personality of its own and over the years has reunited
many friends and relatives and helped those looking to trace
their Yorkshire ancestors. From its colourful front cover to
the old image on the back page, this magazine is pure nostalgia
from start to finish; articles, images, letters, poems, competitions
and even a crossword - each one guaranteed to take you on a
trip down memory lane.
