THE LATEST Japanese tourists to visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth are Pokemon.
The computer-generated creatures can be seen milling around the museum as part of the smash-new mobile phone game Pokemon Go.
Brontë Society spokesman Rebekah Yorke said: “The museum is a ‘Pokéstop, although visitors do not need to be physically in the museum to catch Pokémon.
“We are delighted that families and young people might be ‘lured’ up Church Street and encouraged to look around the museum, but will be monitoring how interest in the game develops to ensure the visitor experience is not spoiled for others.”
