This wooden hut at Enfield Side, known as Metcalf’s tearoom, offered refreshments to walkers along the popular path to the Brontë Waterfall in the 1920s.
Haworth Moor’s Brontë shrines had become well-established by then, though perhaps their authenticity should not be too closely questioned.
An earlier contender for the Brontë Waterfall title had been another at Ponden Kirk, while Top Withins bears no resemblance to the Wuthering Heights of the novel.
In Haworth itself, businesses were making the most of their undoubted literary associations.
The Black Bull Hotel advertised as “close to the church and Brontë Museum”, the King’s Arms was “opposite Brontë Museum and church”, and the White Lion “next door to Brontë Museum”.
The Brontë Café was “opposite the church and close to the Brontë Museum”, and Burra’s Luncheon and Tea Rooms, “close to the Brontë Museum and church,” catered for picnic parties.
The photograph has been supplied by Mr Ian Brierley, of Bridgehouse Lane, Haworth.
