SIR – When I was young, Shipley Glen was a magnet for fans of ‘alfresco love’, now a national newspaper claims that lust-crazed couples are invading the moors around the Parish of Haworth (T&A, October 9).
Police said they had received no reports of the activity in the area, nor had any councillor.
Haworth Parish Council chairman John Huxley said it looks like a figment of somebody’s imagination, but I believe these goings on were known to all and sundry in 1847 when Emily Bronte wrote her single novel Wuthering Heights, an intense and powerful tale of love. And who knows, parts of this acclaimed work could be empirical.
