Dalesman
Dalesman is a British monthly regional magazine, based in Skipton, serving the English county of Yorkshire. Its first edition was published in March 1939, under the original title of The Yorkshire Dalesman: A Monthly Magazine of Dales' Life and Industry.
Although originally only serving the Yorkshire Dales, the magazine later expanded to cover the whole county of Yorkshire, focusing on the countryside. It is the biggest selling regional consumer magazine in the UK and Yorkshire's best-selling magazine.
The magazine covers the people, landscapes and heritage of Yorkshire. Dalesman covers the whole of Yorkshire, though it has a rural focus that takes in the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, Yorkshire Wolds and Yorkshire coast, along with the county capital of York. Each issue contains stories about the people and places of Yorkshire, articles on crafts, history and nature, alongside photographs and paintings of Yorkshire scenery.
Along with factual features and interviews, there are also short stories, puzzles, guided walks, plus numerous jokes and cartoons, some in Yorkshire dialect. The magazine has a popular Reader's Club.
Many famous writers have contributed to Dalesman, including J. B. Priestley, Ella Pontefract, Bill Cowley and Alan Bennett. Current regular contributors include "Bard of Barnsley" Ian McMillan, Nicholas Rhea, who wrote the Constable books that the TV series Heartbeat was based on, Ashley Jackson, and cartoonists Tony Husband and Karl Dixon.
Popular monthly features include Diary of a Yorkshire Farmer's Wife, Signs and Wonders (amusing signs spotted around Yorkshire), Wild Yorkshire, My Best Day Out and Round About the Ridings. Aside from A Dalesman's Diary – which has been included from issue one – the magazine's longest-running feature is the Old Amos cartoon.
The cartoon has been a fixture in Dalesman since May 1953, making Old Amos four years older than fellow northern cartoon character Andy Capp. Just two artists have drawn Old Amos over the last six decades: father and son Rowland and Pete Lindup. Pete carried on immediately after Rowland's death in 1989. Old Amos is a bearded gentleman who dishes out quotable wisdom and advice, often in Yorkshire dialect.
Initially called The Yorkshire Dalesman, the magazine was founded in 1939 by former Leeds journalist Harry J. Scott, with the first edition published in April of that year. He ran the magazine from the front room of his home in the small Dales village of Clapham, North Yorkshire.
