In The Soldier’s Daughter , Evie lives close to the made-up village of Lylston, which I located north of the real market town of Bingley and set between the higher villages of Micklethwaite and East Morton, leading up to the Ilkley Moor area.
Like many towns in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Bingley prospered during the Industrial Revolution . The Bingley section of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was completed in 1774, linking the town with Skipton , and Bradford via the Bradford Canal . The canal passes through the town centre and ascends the side of the valley via the Bingley Five Rise and Bingley Three Rise Locks . Several woollen and worsted mills were built and people migrated from the surrounding countryside to work in them. Alexan
