Local context

Roofs across Yorkshire and the Humber.

What Yorkshire roofs tend to be like:

• Stone terraces. West Yorkshire is full of millstone-grit and stone terraces, solid roofs where the structural check matters on the oldest stock.
• Historic cores. York and the older city centres have extensive conservation areas, so street-facing panels are tightly controlled and rear slopes are often the answer.
• Open East Riding. Around Hull and Doncaster the land is flat and open, which means little shading and clear exposure.
