Kate Bush and the Brontes...

[Beebo]

I ride past that house quite often, it is one of many similar house on that road. She hasn't lived there for 20 years and it was a subsequent owner who changed the name to Wuthering Heights and attached huge signs to the gates

Called Wuthering Heights ?

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

Yorkshur Yammer style?

North West, West Riding of Yorkshire.

No, I don't understand what that means.

The Brontes were from the North West of the West Riding of Yorkshire.

They speak different over the East of the West Riding.

It was the Yorkshur Yammer that foxed me.

Forgive me for saying so, but that appears a subtly different vernacular to that spoken by Joseph of Wuthering Heights and of the farmers in the James Herriot books. Might Yorkshire Yammer refer to a different area of Yorkshire?

Herriot was the North Riding, the book is more East & South East West Riding.

The Brontes were West West Riding.

@Richard A Thackeray can confirm it's different over his side o'West Riding.

That's interesting. I could not help noticing that the Brontës were almost in Lancashire, and that Keighley Moor is only a mini moor. I reckon you could walk around it in a day.

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

Leonard?

Leonard?

Nope.

In the West West Riding, bordering with Lancashire.

And they moved the border in 74!

Nope.

That would be a good name for a house, you missed a trick there
