Yorkshire Live recommends a day-trip to Thornton from Bradford.
A 30 minute bus ride from Bradford city centre, costing £2.50, will get you to Thornton, a scenic little town which was once home to some of Yorkshire's most famous natives. The Brontë sisters were born in the town, and their former home is now a museum in the town. [...]
After a quick drink, I decided to look around the town a little more after spending a fair amount of my time on the outskirts exploring the viaduct. Just off of Market Street, I ran into the home of the Brontë sisters, now a museum.
Sadly it was closed and is only open on weekends, so if you're planning a visit then Saturday and Sunday would be perfect. The town is quite clearly proud of its literary heritage, with displays honouring the Brontës in shop windows and advertised on libraries across the town. (Sebastian McCormick)
The [book] that made you want to become an author: Probably Jane Eyre which I read at least ten times. (Elise Dumpleton)
Cinema and literature have walked hand-in-hand since filmmaking was invented. There are many books that have been adapted many times, but are still considered impossible to accurately translate to the screen. Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is a famously "unfilmable" novel, even though the results of those who tried have been interesting. (Arantxa Pellme)
