Previously unseen photographs of old Haworth are to be revealed as part of a campaign to raise more cash to support the shrine to the Bronte sisters.
Historian Steve Wood’s talk is the first event by the fledgling Friends of the Bronte Parsonage Museum group.
The audience who turn up at West Lane Baptist Chapel in Haworth tomorrow at 7.30pm will be taken on an illustrated tour of the village.
Mr Wood is the author of ‘Haworth: A strange uncivilised little place’ which was published by Tempus in 2005.
He is working on a ‘then and now’ book of pictures of the village to be published later this year.
A spokesman for the group said: “The Friends of Bronte Parsonage Museum are a small group of Parsonage staff who are trying to raise funds for the museum.”
