THE team behind a book celebrating some of North Yorkshire's finest countryside has turned its attentions to the Tees Valley.

Photographers Nigel Whitfield, from The Northern Echo, and freelance Richard Jemison have joined Whitby poet Chris Firth to publish Teesway One Nine Nine in October.

The book will feature images of the River Tees and surrounding area, starting from its source at Cross Fell, high in the North Pennines, down to South Gare.

Each photograph will be accompanied by a poem written by Mr Firth or one of 14 guest poets from Teesside and the Tees Valley.

North Yorkshire One Nine Nine took its name from the number of steps to Whitby Abbey and followed Whitby One Nine Nine, published last year.
