Natures DomainMurphy's Lore by George Murphy

Murphy's Lore is George Murphy's weekly record of a dramatic year in the life of the UK. 52 episodes, viewed from Hebden Bridge in the Upper Calder Valley, a distinctive, beautiful and climate challenged part of the Pennine hills. George's writings are filled with offbeat, wry observations on national politics, his family life and, above all, the quirky community of Hebden Bridge and its neighbouring towns.

Murphy's Lore was first published as a regular column on the Hebden Bridge website, the 'HebWeb' .
