About Let Me In: The Brontës in Bricks and Mortar: Sharon Wright, Ann Dinsdale and Julie Akhurst - Whitby Mission & Seafarers Centre
Two expert writers, Sharon Wright and Ann Dinsdale, went on a very personal journey around Britain and Ireland, enjoying privileged access to private houses, that shaped and inspired the Brontë sisters and their writing.
Echoing Cathy’s ghost in Wuthering Heights, Ann and Sharon ask to be let in - and invite you on an eye-opening odyssey that combines the surprising Bronte history of key houses with their sometimes glorious, sometimes heartbreaking, always fascinating afterlives. They’ll also delve into the strong local Brontë connections with Scarborough, Filey, and Bridlington.
Ann Dinsdale, Principal Curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, is an expert on the world-class Brontë collection. Sharon Wright is an award-winning journalist and author of the Amazon #1 bestselling biography of Maria Branwell Brontë.
They are interviewed by former journalist, Julie Akhurst, who lived in Ponden Hall - the ancient farmhouse on the moors thought to inspire Wuthering Heights.
