Re: Green Haworth/Bedlam

When I was a kid us townies probably thought people WERE mad to live at Green Haworth (though it's probably quite a desirable location now with better building materials and personal transport 'solutions'?).

I remember an old well there - down some steps across the lane from the cottages - is it still there? - I always went for a drink when in the area (provided it didn't look too mucky).

I'm told the preacher at the methodist chapel there once took as his sermon "Do as I say, not as I do". Later that day he hanged himself in the vestry. The moors have that effect on you !

PS - I haven't seen it but I'm told the cottages down the hill from the Shoulder of Mutton had stone flag floors - UPSTAIRS !!!
