Emmerdale Family Album (book)

Emmerdale Family Album is a book written by Michael Heatly. It was published in hardback in 1994, with a paperback version being published in 1995. 
== Synopsis ==
The family is the institution around which village life has traditionally revolved - and Emmerdale is no exception. The Emmerdale Family Album presents a fascinating history of the families that have come and gone in the Yorkshire village since 'Emmerdale Farm' first came to our screens in October of 1972.
The Sugdens at Emmerdale Farm remain the most long-established residents. Over the years, they have linked through marriage into the Skilbeck, Merrick, Bates and Hughes families, providing an important continuity. However, a second dynasty took residence over at Home Farm in the late 1980s in the shape of the citified, controversial Tate clan; and elsewhere in the village, the Feldmanns, Turners, Whiteleys and Hughes' have gradually established their own roots. This is a record of the most important events in all their lives - the tragedies and break-ups as well a the successes and celebrations - using family photographs, personal documents and local newspaper articles. 
These accounts are set against the changing face of the village itself, the traditional events of country life and the coming and goings of the woolpack over the decades. The album also contains special features on the role of the clergy within the village community, highlights the new families, the Windsors, the McAllisters, at the post office and doctor's surgery - and finally, looks at the 'black sheep' of Emmerdale, past and present, who have threatened to wreck the lives of some of its inhabitants.
