There is some confusion over which property on the Main St is the actual Post Office during the Brontes In the Trade Directory it states that between 1830-1857 William Hartley was Postmaster at Haworth, a  map of Haworth 1853 clearly shows the property in the photograph as the Post Office. 

In 1861 Edwin Feather became Postmaster, the post Office  located to another property, the Brontes were all dead by this time.

Past the iron Kissing-gate, one of the paving slabs has a face carved in it. This was carved by Eric Sawley who was born in the 1920's. He lived at Rock St Keighley and this stone was carved there by him when he was about ten. The council demolished Rock St and the paving stones were brought to Haworth. 

Mr Sawley paid a visit to Haworth and found the Tom Mix stone on his way to the car park.  

Tom Mix (1880-1940) was an actor mostly in silent movies. His career spanned from 1909-1935. He was in 336 films mostly westerns, where he would do his own stunts. He is one of  the figures on the front cover of the Beatles Sgt Peppers album.

Penistone Hill used to be a quarry, evidence of which is scattered around.

Continue along the track crossing a cattle grid.

The next part of the walk is on open moorland and is an area of Special Scientific Interest, it is renowned for birds that breed here. These include Curlew, Golden Plover Peregrine and Merlin. Mid-March to mid-July is the crucial time for these birds as they court, make nests in the heather and grass, lay eggs and raise chicks. It is essential to their survival that you respect their habitat. 

You can help by: Keeping dogs under control, not to start fires, move away if you see an agitated bird, take your litter home.

Far Intake, 1 mile to go. There are many ruined dwellings in the area, giving a sense of how the place was once worked. Pockets of coal and quarries were a source income as well as sheep farming. A complete 360º tour here...
