Haworth is well-known throughout the world as the home of the Bronte sisters. It is less well-known as the largest village of three that make up the ancient township of Haworth. Here, and in the forthcoming companion volume, the whole township is represented in an extensive and wide-ranging collection of old photographs. There are the conventional photographs of 'Bronte Haworth', but also a great many of the pictures in these two books will be completely new to many readers. In this book, readers will find 300 photographs of the villages of Haworth, Oxenhope and Stanbury, of their streets, their houses, schools, churches and people; an exploration of the history of the ancient township of Haworth.
Haworth, Oxenhope & Stanbury From Old Photographs Volume 2
by Steven Wood
Published 15 November 2011
In this second volume of Haworth photographs carefully selected by local historian Steven Wood, the focus has shifted to trade and industry. These two companion volumes provide a comprehensive view of this Pennine settlement, and cover most aspects of the township. Many of these photographs have not been published before, and offer a unique and fascinating view of the area's history. Many are familiar with Haworth and its long association with the Brontes, but it was actually one of three villages that made up the township. These pages are full of the people, places and trades that lived here in the past, and is essential reading for anyone who knows and loves this popular and treasured part of Yorkshire.
