Dialect pt.2: Rev James Alderson and Aunt Lizzie

Presenter Andrew Fagg is by the beck in Gayle village to introduce the late local historian Rev James Alderson and the late Lizzie Alderson.  There is a touching story about a petted pig, along with excerpts from a lecture given by Rev James in the early 1980s at the Grassington Festival.  Both characters are remembered by special guests Rob and Val Ward.   The work of Trevor Sharpe and Bradford Youth Service in the gathering of the original interviews, more than 40 years ago, is further explained.
