Folkiedave.....I leave the research to those with the required attributes.....I'm just a simple banjo playing soul! We might have to learn it though (not on the banjo, obviously) for one of The Swaledale Folk Club nights in Richmond.

Fascinating stuff. Interesting that the song was "collected" in Sheffield rather than in North Yorks though....but looking at the lyrics I guess it wasn't written by a local but more likely a visitor.
