I AM very pleased the Visitor Information Centre in Haworth is being taken on by the Brontë Society – i.e. Parsonage – and it’s very easy to blame the council.
Haworth has thrived on the back of the Brontës. It’s also easy to overlook that the Brontës were born in Thornton, a village that has long been forgotten.
If the Visitor Information Centre can be taken on, what hope is there for the Brontë house in Thornton, where Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne were born?
The Brontë house at Thornton was the only place that all the siblings and parents lived together in harmony, as spoken by Patrick Brontë himself.
