Having glanced at Google Maps and found place names in the vicinity like "Grewelthorpe", "Warthermarske", "Gollinglith Foot", "Blubberhouses" and the frankly fantastic "Booze", I'm now convinced that Yorkshire is nothing more than an elaborate practical joke being practised on us by some Oxbridge student society, who spend their holidays appearing on television and claiming to be miners and cricketers from Ticklethwaite, Sodderby, Sudden Hardcock and Nether Bumhole.
"I would rather spend a holiday in Tuscany than in the Black Country, but if I were compelled to choose between living in West Bromwich or Florence, I should make straight for West Bromwich." - J.B. Priestley
