The singing hermit of Ilkley Moor
Job Senior鈥檚 voice and walls still echo across Ilkley Moor, 200 years on.
More than 200 years ago, a man who had fallen on hard times was living in a shack the size of a dog kennel on a bleak moorland.
Job Senior was known as the "hermit of Ilkley Moor" - a skilled builder of dry stone walls and a gifted singer who travelled around the local inns to perform.
Tim Moon joins Gayle Lofthouse to talk about the man and how his legacy is being honoured in song this year.
