Lower Laithe Reservoir is a man-made upland reservoir that lies 1.2 miles west of Haworth in West Yorkshire. It was built with the intention of providing the town of Keighley with a more reliable water supply. When full, it contains 1.275m cubic metres of water. Work began on the reservoir in 1912 but was disrupted by the outbreak of the First World War, so was not finished until 1925. [...]In Germany, Eckernförder Zeitung reports a 'Lange Nacht der Kulturbeauftragten' during which Wuthering Heights was read. Finally, you can read about Anne Brontë's childhood on AnneBrontë.org.
The park and the moors it comprises would have been familiar to the Brontës, who drew much inspiration from them and the “bleak solitude” they afforded.
