Synopsis

Ian Clayton promotes the idea that a sense of place is not just about bricks and mortar, rather it's in the people and the stories we tell each other. We are what we do, what we eat and wear, the places we go to enjoy ourselves, the way we share our history and what we have in common. Right Up Your Street brings together a selection of weekly columns Ian has written for his local paper, the Pontefract and Castleford Express. This fascinating compendium of real stories thrives on the term local; it is about round here in all its eccentric, bewildering and historical glory, putting pride right back into place and the local firmly amongst the global.

About this title

Review:

Ian Clayton has an unshakeable belief in the power of stories to bring people together, coming as he does from that great tradition of storytellers that includes the likes of Stan Barstow, Alan Sillitoe and, his hero, Barry Hines. --Chris Bond, Yorkshire Post
