12 photos of Yorkshire in autumn in the 1900s show what life was like 40 to 90 years ago

The autumn season is vibrant with colourful leaves in Yorkshire and decades ago it wasn’t all that different so we’ve taken a look back at what the region looked like 40 to 90 years ago in October.

From a shipwreck at the beach in Easington in the 1930s to the waterfall on the river Wharfe in the 1970s - there are a lot of retro photos illustrating what autumn was like decades ago.

Despite most of these photos being black and white, you can still pick up the autumnal atmosphere.
