Haworth Village, Limited Edition of 1250 from the Lilliput Lane Collection. This atmospheric scene has been inspired by Haworth's steep cobbled Main Street and features some of the town's most recognisable buildings, described by Elizabeth Gaskell in her biography, The Life of Charlotte Bronte, in 1897: 'the old stone houses are high compared with the width of the street, which makes an abrupt turn before reaching the more level ground at the head of the village, so that the steep aspect of the place in one part is almost like that of a wall.' Situated on the eastern slope of the Pennines, the name Haworth is believed to mean to 'the hawthorn (haw) enclosure by the Worth (worth)' - due to its proximity to the River Worth. The town's main industry during the Victorian period was weaving, there being as many as 1200 handlooms working at the peak of the Industrial Revolution. But today, Haworth is famous for two things - being the home of the Brontes and the film location for The Railway Children.
