Filming has already started at...

The Yorkshire Post publishes today an article about the upcoming Wuthering Heights TV miniseries produced by Mammoth Screen for ITV. The article's most interesting thing is the disclosure of some more filming locations: Bramham Park (picture 1, source) and Stockeld Park (picture 2, source) and Sheffield.

Wuthering Heights to tempt tourists into starting affair with Yorkshire.

IT IS a tale synonymous with the untamed beauty of the Yorkshire moors.
Now the region's majestic rugged hills and dales and historic homes are being used as the backdrop against which to tell Emily Bronte's classic love story Wuthering Heights.
As the dark, brooding Heathcliff returns to our screens, viewers of a new TV adaptation currently being filmed in Yorkshire will be able to pick out familiar landmarks.
It is hoped the drama will tune viewers into Yorkshire's charms and trigger a new influx of tourists.
Sally Joynson, chief executive of Screen Yorkshire, which promotes the region to the film industry, said: ''We felt that it was hugely important to support ITV 1's production of Wuthering Heights and ensure that the story is retold against the backdrop of the region where it was conceived."
Filming has already started at several locations across Yorkshire, including Oakwell Hall, at Birstall, Batley, Bramham Park and Stockeld Park, near Wetherby, and in Sheffield.
Wuthering Heights is a story of tangled passion which grips Heathcliff and Cathy.
The isolated Top Withens, above Haworth, is popularly credited as being Bronte's setting for the novel. Whether or not the ruin is the genuine location, the setting is romantic enough to have appeared in several film versions and paintings.
However, Haworth has not been chosen as a location by the film-makers, as those behind the production have found all the settings they need elsewhere. (...)
Ms Joynson added: "Productions such as Wuthering Heights have a significant impact on the local economy – not only providing employment for local crew, services and facilities, but also by showcasing our diverse landscapes, villages and towns to potential tourists worldwide. (Joanne Ginley)

Some other Brontë references around: Sue Young Homeopath posts a well-documented (but somewhat biased) article about the Brontës and homeopathy. Film & I reviews Jane Eyre 2006. Studio Hink posts some pictures of Haworth (in Japanese). Mike's blog: En busca de la niña perdida briefly talks about Jane Eyre (in Spanish).
