I looked up Leeds and found out it's in West Yorkshire. Wow, that's probably my one dream destination in England because West Yorkshire is where Haworth and the Moors are located. Haworth is the hometown of the Bronte sisters, and I'm a huge fan of 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. Have read it countless times and is my all-time favorite novel! 🧡📙
I almost missed this one, Leeds is where my sister lives and the countryside around there is beautiful in places. I've not been to Haworth but it's definitely on my list of places to visit. A quick Google search and I now know it's only a 30 minutes car journey from her house.
@@geordiejeff Wow, how blessed to be living near "Bronte Country" as they call it. Hope you can vlog it in the future. Aside from the Bronte Parsonage Museum, the surrounding Moors is also a "pilgrimage site" of sorts for Bronte enthusiasts especially for those who love Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" as the novel heavily uses it as backdrop for the story. (I actually read WH ahead of JE, but while WH's story is quite fascinating, I just found it too disturbingly dark.) And about Leeds, I just remembered that Charlotte Bronte actually mentioned it in her letter to her friend Ellen Nussey when she talked about the need to buy her wedding dress there I think. :)

Stourbridge junction was the intro, knew it just from looking 😮
You've obviously been there, it was a new to me - as was the answer to the question. I only got it by the info on the platform
