- The Yorkshire Society is a non-political, not-for-profit organisation which was formed in 1980 to encourage businesses, charities and individuals to come together to promote the virtues of the White Rose county.
The YS is also noted for highlighting the achievements of distinguished Yorkshire people such as Percy Shaw, the inventor of ‘cats’ eyes,’ and Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the Fulneck-born architect noted for his work on the White House and the Capitol in Washington.
