About Shuttle and Rose

Who this site is for

Shuttle and Rose is an independent information site about the history and heritage of Yorkshire, written for curious readers, students, teachers, family historians and anyone planning a visit to museums and heritage sites. It is not a school service, a museum, a society or a tourism office.

What it covers

The focus is inventors and industrial history: textile mills and wool, steel and cutlery, early railways and road transport, and the places where you can still see them. Each guide stands on its own and links to related ones.

How facts are handled

We keep to well established facts and name the source type when we can, such as standard histories and museum collections. Where accounts differ or a story is more legend than record, the text says so. We do not quote private individuals or publish contact details.

What this site is not

This site is not affiliated with any museum, heritage body, company or person mentioned. Opening times, prices and exhibits change, so always check the official pages of the place you want to visit. If you find an error, please treat the text as a guide and confirm details with a primary source.
