It's ROYS day 2, and we're about to be back with another day packed with all things Yorkshire's past!

We’re about to get day 2 of ROYS underway, with Dr Lauren Theweneti’s paper “‘a foretaste of the Labour Problems’: demobilising Leeds women in the aftermath of Total War”

We're back after our morning break with Michael Makey's paper "WWII Defence Regulations: Hull's Unique Interpretation"

Josh Clarkson is up next to give his paper "A war between the wars: This history of the Keighley Labour Party between 1918 and 1939".

We kick off our final panel of the afternoon with Diane Halford from In Search of Ann Walker's paper "In search of Ann Walker: The life of Ann Walker"

Wrapping up ROYS 24 we have Ella McFarlane giving her paper "'It's Queer Up North'; Exploring place, identity and queerness in West Yorkshire"
