Looking for Heathcliffe

Back in merry old England now and gradually  making our way down south - two days in south Yorkshire. We are staying in Hebden Bridge, a former mill and weaving town which is experiencing a bit of a creative resurgence and has a lovely community spirit.

A 20 minute drive took us up out of the valley, over the moors and down into another valley to Haworth, the home of the Bronte family. This is the parsonage where they grew up and wrote their classic stories such as Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and others. It is now the Bronte Museum, very interesting displays.

The church where their father served as minister. Sad story - When Rev. Patrick Bronte died at the age of 84, he had outlived his wife and all of his six children.

The front of the church is right beside The Black Bull, where the sisters' brother Bramwell spent a lot of time.

 The narrow main street is very steep!
