In The Footsteps Of  The Brontes

The lives and works of the celebrated Bronte family are so ingrained in our cultural psyche that we think we know them inside out – but walking in the footsteps of the literary greats and their characters offers a new perspective on their work. Our journey begins in Cambridge with the arrival of the young Patrick Bronte and follows his family’s fortunes as they grow up in their home village of Haworth.

We see the wild moorland locations that would inspire the haunting Wuthering Heights and the dour schools they attended that would later feature in Jane Eyre. We visit the homes of family and friends that provided the settings for many of their novels and travel with them across the industrial West Riding to York and the coast.

This spectacular collection of photographs old and new explores the people and places that the brilliant Brontes knew and loved.
