Time gone by

Local Author strikes again
By Jessica Hassall
Motorcycle mad and Local author Wilf Couldwell has published another fantastic read, he's created a humorous and engaging collection of short stories about everyday life spent as a young boy brought up on a remote Yorkshire farm.

Wilf was born and bred on his parent’s Yorkshire farm in the mid 1930′s and later married in Stocksbridge with his wife Anne. Motorbike fanatic Wilf spent his younger years combining schoolwork, farm work and his hobby of motorcycles. This thoroughly entertaining memoir captures this period colourfully, with many different snapshots of how life was in the 1940′s. The collection is called, 'Living at the back of beyond' and flows on perfectly from his previous work, 'A Decade with Wilf Couldwell and His Bikes.'
Wilf has completed and published two books whilst in his 70’s and now lives in Llantilio Crossenny, South Wales, however still has strong links with Stocksbridge and the South Yorkshire area.
