Kate Bush and the Brontes...

[Yellow Fang]

When I heard on the radio that Kate Bush was doing Emily Bronte's stone, Carol Ann Duffy, Charlotte's, and Jackie Kay, Ann's, I wondered if Jeanette Winterson was going to do one for Branwell. But no, she's doing one for the Bronte legacy as a whole.

Anyone been to Haworth? It's like Bronteland.

They'll be Running up that Hill to put the stones in presumably.

Yes it's been like that for decades. Long time since I've been but I remember it all being very irritating.

The main street is café land for the most part, but there are a couple of second hand bookshops which I've enjoyed browsing in the past. Came away with a couple of lovely books for not a lot of money. There's some great countryside around there...

@ColinJ will tell you that while Haworth is rammed with tourists, the hamlet of Heptonstall on the hill above Hebden Bridge has as much charm but none of the tack. Both are on the edge of the moor at the top of steep hills, they grew there because before cotton people lived by spinning and weaving wool cloth, which would be taken down into the valley by packhorse and thence on trains of packhorses to market.

You want Thornton for where they were born. Halifax for where they spent most of their time.

Not sure what you are getting at, please enlighten us.

It's where she used to live...

I understand that but imagine most of us live in a house.

Called Wuthering Heights ?

I own a house with a name, I just cannot figure out why a picture of her house is relative to the topic.

I have now re-mapped my keyboard so that I can type Brontë
