Excerpt from Tourist Rambles in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Durham, Northumberland,& Derbyshire
The York Tourist Society originated from a few friends joining together in excursions to Castle Eden Dene or Dell, in Durham, and the princely Chatsworth, in Derbyshire. These visits took place in the year 1865, when Edwin Wade, Esq., J.P., was Lord Mayor of the City of York, and accompanied the party. In the following year another excursion took place to Boston Spa and Bramham Park, which in its results was so gratifying, that it was determined to form a society, in order that future excursions might be more easily organized; Mr. Wade, the ex-Lord Mayor, being elected President (an office he still worthily fills), and Mr. Henry Brearey, Hon. Secretary. In course of time, the Society gradually increased in numbers, and Mr. R.W. Anderson, who has taken the place of Mr. Brearey as Hon. Sec., has successfully carried out the greater part of its excursions.
