We didn't go on holiday because of mills & canals, but it became a thread between the other Brontë and Railway things. This is a sculpture in Hebden Bridge marking their last mill, which made corduroy fabrics, which need a special needle ( the sculpture) and was run for a while as a co-operative ( I looked it up)
I read this morning that Charlotte Brontë "blue dress" was made from fabric woven at Salt Mill, using his alpaca yarn.
And: Aquaducts! Engineering!

Still technically on holiday, went to see my Mum then to see the sea. Herne Bay was rather bracing however, despite the blue sky ( and first quarter moon) But I wanted some sea in the holiday, and I got a Merry Go Round as well. #HerneBay #Kent #sea #seaside
