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 is a picturesque Pennine village that is now famed for the Bronte family and the steam railway. Behind the tourist village of today lies a long history of people making a living from the uncompromising moorland of this area. Haworth History Tour takes the reader on a journey through the many changes the village has undergone in its long history. While some areas will seem relatively unchanged, many are now unrecognisable. The curious and nostalgic alike will delight in uncovering or rediscovering the roots of Haworth with the help of this wonderfully illustrated guide.

The fascinating history of Oxenhope and Stanbury, illustrated through old and modern pictures.
