Interesting side over the Haworth Old Post Office, with beautiful photo's.

 facebook/theoldpostofficehaworthRestoring the old Brontë Post Office to its Victorian glory...

This is the original location where Emily Brontë passed over her manuscript for her Wuthering Heights, Charlotte passsed over hers for The Professor (and subsequently Jayne Eyre) and Anne hers for Agnes Grey over the post office counter that is still there and here for all to marvel at, very soon… History in your hands right here.

The Parlour ~ Our 1st Floor Dining Room. This beautiful space seats 24 and overlooks the historic Main Street, Black Bull, and the church from the side window.
➕ This room retains the original wide Georgian floorboards, which have been carefully restored. The antique fireplace adds a sense of grandeur, and an original ‘Barraclough of Haworth’ grandfather clock feels quite at home here.
The cosy window seat has a handy charging point for a laptop; this is what we like to call ‘Charlotte’s Corner’, and is filled with antique prints relating to the life and work of Charlotte Brontë.
Opposite, the antique display cabinet is full of interesting items and artefacts relating to local or postal history.
