Roger Ratcliffe's photostream
|
I was born and educated in Rothesay, the only town on the Island of Bute, Scotland, and trained as a journalist in Hull.
Moving to Leeds, I worked as the Yorkshire Post’s Environment Correspondent before joining the Sunday Times in London. After five years I tired of life in the capital and headed back up the M1 to become the paper’s North of England Correspondent.
I contributed to a book on the 1984-85 miners’ strike, wrote and published two detailed city guides - Leeds Fax and The Bradford Book - and authored the official handbook to the Yorkshire Wolds Way.
After a spell with BBC Television I returned to print media and now work as a freelance journalist mostly specialising in landscape issues, nature and travel. I also contribute a fortnightly column to The Big Issue North.
Where possible I take photographs to illustrate my articles.

"Roger's pictures truly stand out from the crowd.
His fine eye for detail and perspective compliment his love of the countryside. We can travel our wonderful country and beyond and enjoy the scenery or his quirky take on a situation.
You'll love looking through his pages."16th July, 2009
