A Glyn Hughes (probably the 'Guest' who posted above) wrote a book called 'Millstone Grit' about the Southern Pennines in the early 1970s. I bought a copy from a second-hand bookshop years ago and it sat unread on my shelves for ages. Then, one day, recently, I took it off the shelf and read it - and I realised that I had neglected a bit of a masterpiece. It's a perfect evocation of a particular time and place - one of those books that sticks in your mind - there are episodes in it that are so vivid that I could almost swear that I have experienced them myself. If you come across a copy I recommend that you read it - especially if you have any sort of relationship at all with the Southern Pennines.
