Yorkshire Made Me

Yorkshire Made Me is a unique, original collection of photographic portraits exhibited together for the first time to celebrate some of the most famous and significant Yorkshire men and women in 21st Century Britain.

Strikingly intimate and informal, from the giants of entertainment, to writers, politicians, academics, journalists and sporting heroes bringing home Olympic Gold, these photographs tell a story of the people whose achievements and success makes them proud to be Yorkshire born.

Award-winning Photographers Lynne Fletcher and Jennifer Robertson have documented the faces and marked the achievements of these Yorkshire greats. Yorkshire Made Me affirms powerfully, that no matter how far Yorkshire men and women travel, in distance or to stardom and success, they are forever shaped by their place of birth and are intensely proud to belong.
