Although at that time it seemed very run down, and I think may have been on the Buildings at Risk register, it had obviously been a very grand Regency Style house ( even if it was painted in a bright shade of pink!) The guides were very enthusiastic and I often wonder if all their plans for the house have ever come to fruition.<br />Thinking about that house and the visit I made to it accentuates to me how lucky I am to be able to visit the Bronte Parsonage Museum- a building so well cared for with so many wonderful exhibits. I visited last weekend and finding the museum in pristine condition, seeing the recent acquisitions displayed so well, looking at the new exhibition featuring Branwell and meeting up with friends made the occasion so very special. I can't wait for the next occasion!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
