Club meeting 'Zoom' Speaker
Thu, Jul 8th 2021 at 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Catherine Warr, Yorkshire Historian
I’m 22 years old and was born and raised in Leeds. In 2020, I graduated from the University of Bradford with a degree in Peace Studies.
In 2018, I uploaded the first video to my YouTube channel Yorkshire’s Hidden History. With just a phone and a passion for creating original content, over the years I have grown to become the biggest and most popular Yorkshire history channel on YouTube. I have amassed over 3,000 subscribers and over 150,000 video views. My channel has viewers from all over the world, and my unique, engaging, interesting, and entertaining approach to educational content has proved immensely popular online.
My work has been featured on BBC Radio Leeds, The Telegraph and Argus, Huddersfield Examiner, York Press, and I am rapidly becoming one of the most visible young local historians online. I have delivered many engaging talks to local history societies and am in the process of writing two books - one of which has been accepted for publication, and is due to be released in 2022.
