I received a nice email from Tony. I always love it when someone who is reading my blog gives a reaction. I love it too when it is someone who is living in the neigbourhood of Haworth or one of the other places known by the Brontes. Tony is living in Scarborough, so the place Anne Bronte loved and also the place she died in and it is the place she is buried in. Tony sent me some of the pictures he made. I am showing them here. Thank you so much Tony.
Hallo There,
I have just come across your webpage about the Bronte's and I find it very interesting. I have had a great interest after watching the DVD (about 8 times so far) and reading the Book (I am now on my 2nd. reading) Images of both attached I have visited the Parsonage and Anne Bronte's grave at Scarborough (Image attached ) and I shall be visiting it again in May, (the month she died) as I live just 32 miles north of Scarborough.
Hi Geri,
I have a full set of the books dated 1895 including Mr's Gaskells biography of Charlotte. Unfortunate The Grand Hotel is now on the spot where they lodged in Scarborough.
and the church where Ann's funeral was held is now gone replaced by a Supermarket. The notice about Ann' death is in St. Marys Church which is next to the graveyard this was being renovated at the time of her death and could not be used for the funeral. Did you see the pictures I sent of the DVD and Book ? if you do not have them I really recommend you and any of your readers get them as they are excellent the DVD was filmed in the 1970's and stays very close to the real facts of the Bronte story
Tony
The book I have it myself, Tony
I use it almost as a Bronte ""bible"", the book is full of marvelous information
(Once in Christmas time I participated in a contest of the Bronte Blog
The price I could win this book
and...... I won
It happened several years ago, but I am happy with the book till now)
The DVD I saw it on the site of the Bronte Parsonage. I was doubting, do I buy it or not
Till now I didn't buy it
but you are making me excited again
Lord, these are my favorites in Bronte book and DVD too! ...lovely photos! Thank you Tony!
