Haworth visit

We visited Haworth early in the morning - left the Hotel at 08.30hrs, that's early!!!

Strange to think that we saw sights that the Bronte sisters would know...........


The driver dropped us at the top of the hill, which meant that there was only a short walk to the 'Parsonage' - too steep for me so we took a path that was suitable for wheelchairs, and ended up at the top of the main street in Haworth itself.  

It meant we would not visit the Parsonage but ........
 We had a good look round, the Church, the Pub with its notices and then started off down hill to the station.






Halfway down the hill this bench called us over to sit awhile and contemplate the view ............ we did gratefully!








Then onwards and downwards we went.......










Just imagine walking up to your house which is just off the main street .......




a view to the distant hills through one of the many archways as we came down the street..........





towards the bottom of the hill stood this Church - sounds good!






Through the park (with an ice-cream of course!) and we reach the bottom of the hill.............

Wonder if this old warehouse stood there when the Bronte's were here ........... 

maybe this train was running then.............








going along the flat road to the station the houses are built on every crook and cranny ...........






PJ was still upright ..............


local view with massive Gunnera leaves alongside.................






 we reached the station and waited for the coach driver to come and collect us so that we could travel on to York City.




This is what they are doing to most of the warehouses round about nowadays - progress!
