This photo is of an old metal kissing gate in Haworth, Yorkshire.
This footpath goes from the churchyard out across the moor towards Top Withins. Top Withins is said to be the inspiration for Heathcliff's abode "Wuthering Heights" in Emily Bronte's novel of the same name.
You can see a woman in this photograph in the churchyard, taking a photo through the headstones towards the parsonage, where the Bronte family lived in the 19th century. The Reverend Patrick Bronte was in 1820 appointed perpetual curate of Haworth church.

ReplyDeleteI really look forward to your daily blog, it never disappoints. There is always a wonderful photo accompanied with many interesting facts. This is a perfect example. I am a huge fan of Howarth and love to visit there. I am sorry to say I have never been to Leeds but after seeing all the fantastic photo's I really need to pay a visit on my next trip back home. A big thank you for a terrific blog. Linda
