Down Your Way is an eclectic 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 vintage 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
