Main Street, Haworth
The isolated West Yorkshire village of Haworth, which clings to a high hill with the ominous Pennines towering behind, is well known for its illustrious literary past. The Bront sisters famously resided and worked here. It also exudes a lot of attractiveness for photographs. So, it is one of the most photogenic streets in the UK.
Most likely, you'll want to get shots of Haworth's Main Street from both angles. Inhale the hill's downward breeze (as well as the spectacular moorland) from the top, then do the same from the bottom while gazing upward.
Haworth's charms are well known, therefore it is advisable to arrive early. Given the area's natural splendor, photographers would do well to think about staying longer. With plenty of useful information in The Rough Guide to Yorkshire, Yorkshire is not short on odd things to do if you enjoy new experiences.
During the Brontes, there is some misunderstanding regarding whether property on Main Street serves as the Post Office. According to the Trade Directory, William Hartley served as Haworth's postmaster from 1830 until 1857; a map from 1853 definitely identifies the building in the picture as the Post Office. Edwin Feather was appointed postmaster in 1861, at a period when the Brontes had all passed away and the post office was situated on different property.
