This landscape of Birmingham Heath and Winson Green was largely unchanged by the time of White's History, Gazeteer and Directory of Warwickshire of 1850.
Byline: ARTHUR QUARMBY I HAVE a copy of the History, Directory and Gazeteer of the County of York (volume 1, West Riding), published in 1823 at the then enormous price of one guinea, which contains the following description of Holmfirth: "A very populous village situated on the turnpike to Buxton, in the townships of Wooldale, Cartworth and Upperthong, partly at the foot of three great hills, and partly climbing up their steep and craggy sides.
The contents address technical factors related to Romanization systems (including which languages are covered and omitted from recommendations), the names of countries, and the creation and transfer of toponymic data files and gazeteers.
