| About Haworth
|
|
Modern Haworth is one of the most popular tourist honeypots in Britain. Visitors are drawn here by the story of the Bronte family; many are brought by the Worth Valley steam railway, which was used in the making of the original film of 'The Railway Children'.
Patrick Bronte came here in the 19th century to be the parish vicar. He lived to survive his wife and his five daughters, who all died of consumption (TB), and his son Branwell, who died of drug addiction. The best known two Bronte sisters are Charlotte, who actually managed to live into her 40s and who wrote 'Jane Eyre'; and Emily, who didn't even reach her 30s and who wrote 'Wuthering Heights'. The desperate story of these young women appeals to the romantic values of so many people that the remote and wild moorland village from which they drew their inspiration has all but disappeared. True, the cobbled village street is, thankfully, pedestrianised, but there are so many souvenir shops and ice cream parlours, many with 'Bronte' stuck in front of their names, that it's hard to detect the solid Yorkshire core which must be there, since this is, after all, a Pennine village.
