In 1986 all the metropolitan areas became separate local authorities. However, West Yorkshire still exists in law and as a ceremonial county.
The Brontes, Ted Huges and Silvia Plath are important literary figures associated with the area, and famous artists include Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
