IN PICTURES: Images of Yorkshire drawn by hand

Before the use of cameras became common place, often the only record of an area was that drawn by hand.

It is incredible that drawings made hundreds of years ago still feature sights and buildings that are recognisable today.

While our gallery focuses on the Yorkshire Coast, we have included a few other familiar places.

Browse our gallery to see Castle Howard only partially completed and Clifford's Tower in very different surroundings to those in which it stands now.
