THE WRITER of the BBC’s upcoming Brontë movie To Walk Invisible has been honoured by the University of Huddersfield.

Sally Wainwright, who sets many of her TV dramas in West Yorkshire, received honorary awards during the university’s graduation ceremony this month.Sally Wainwright is the creator of many hit TV dramas, several of which have been set and filmed in the Huddersfield and Halifax area.They include the acclaimed Happy Valley, which starred Sarah Lancashire as tough but troubled police sergeant Catherine Cawood and drew up to eight million viewers for its tense finale. 

Other hits have included Last Tango In Halifax and the crime dramas Scott and Bailey.
Most recently Sally wrote a 90-minute drama about the Brontë family, To Walk Invisible, which was filmed last month in Haworth and at a recreation of the Haworth parsonage on Penistone Hill above the village.Sally began her writing career with scripts of Coronation Street, then in 2000 she wrote her first original series At Home With The Braithwaite, which became a worldwide hit. keighleynews

I love  Last Tango In Halifax so I cannot wait to see the movie.

Here are some pictures of Charlotte's rose, kindly donated by David Austin Roses to celebrate her bicentenary in April. It's a Crocus and our gardeners Jenny and Geoff are delighted with how it's coming along.

Here are Charlotte Bronte's evening pumps, lined with white rabbit fur! Look closely and you can see an imprint of her heel.

Charlotte Brontë's London, And Why She Wasn't A Fan.

 Euston Arch in 1896, image via Wikimedia Commons.

Charlotte Brontë's first visit to London was in July 1848. Along with her sister Anne, Charlotte came down to meet her publisher George Smith of Smith Elder & Co, to disprove rumours that the Bell authors (the pseudonym the sisters were using) were in fact one person. They travelled by overnight train, arriving at Euston station early in the morning.

Euston would have been Charlotte's gateway to London; she passed through the Victorian railway hub each time she arrived in the capital, and each time she escaped back to the quiet of Haworth.
It's nice to note that the first WH Smith bookstall at a train station opened in the same year — November 1848 — perhaps Charlotte would have perused the books on offer when she visited.
