Bronte Parsonage Museum.
"Still, it is possible that the history of human
literature affords no parallel to the life of the
Brontes at Haworth Parsonage. The family
lived in their little home, cut off not only, at all
times, from the great world, but for many weeks
or months from the neighbouring towns like
Leeds or Bradford, and even from Keighley.
They enjoyed few opportunities, if indeed any,
of social and intellectual culture. They saw no
friends, or hardly any ; and until the name of
Bronte became famous, the arrival of a passing
visitor was itself an event. Their daily walks
took them across the bleak moors." Extract from "Charlotte Bronte" (Open Library)
