Yorkshire Day at Haworth & Walk to OLD Ponden Hall

31st July 2005

Here we are at YORKSHIRE DAY on July 31 this year, in the village of Haworth (Home of The Bronte Sisters), a really fun day, all kinds of sales and crafts going on, and also pics from our walk to Old Ponden Hall (which was probably the inspiration for Thrushcross Grange in Emily Bronte's book, Wuthering Heights). As you can see, it was a gorgeous day in the county of Yorkshire. This area is about an hour north from where we live (Mossley). Haworth is one of our favorite villages; we go there quite often, planning to go this coming weekend for Town Crier Competition, should be interesting!
