Fishing and farming are the traditional trades of the east, with iron mining in the north, and coal mining and the textile industries to the west of the county. Home of the Yorkshire pudding, traditionally served separately at the start of the meal, and Black Sheep beer. Artist David Hockney was raised in Bradford.
