Bronte Birthplace Limited interview with Steven Stanworth

The Brontë birthplace in Thornton, Bradford, where Charlotte, Emily and Anne were born in front of the parlour fireplace is now officially in public ownership for the first time in its 200 year history. Brontë Birthplace Limited, a community benefit society, has now taken over the small terraced house on Market Street thanks to a share offer which attracted more than 700 investors and grants from Bradford City of Culture 2025 and the Government’s levelling up fund.
