Bronte Parsonage, Haworth
Been there today with Kels and my Dad; not been in a good few years and was very impressed with how much it has improved. Loads more exhibits now and very informative. Even has locks of hair and dresses plus the dogs collars ( must have been some big dogs !). It's got a real atmosphere about the place, you look out of the windows over the churchyard and wonder about the way those girls must have lived; the whole 6 Bronte children died before their dad, apparently not unusual back then , and not one of them reached 40.
Nice place Haworth, full of original buildings and good shops.
Great pub too, the Fleece on the main street, good pub lunch ,Timothy Taylors ale and a real fire.
Well worth a visit.
