Rhubarb Folk

Rhubarb Triangle history

For the local history section of my proposed Rhubarb Sketchbook animation, I can draw on a host of colourful characters:

  • Puritan plotters at Middleton
  • bodysnatchers at East Ardsley
  • Prophet Wroe’s ‘temple’ at Kirkhamgate
  • John of Gaunt’s Manor House at Rothwell
  • Robin Hood (and his dad, Adam Hood, a forester) in the Outwood
  • plus a commercial break: from Ossett, John ‘Imperial Leather’ Cussons’ ‘Compound Rhubarb Pills’ (just don’t OD on them!).

Just dropping a few frames into my storyboard, I realise that I could easily devote a whole cartoon to the life and adventures of Prophet Wroe.
