S05E04 Haworth to Huddersfield

2014-01-09

Michael Portillo embarks on this segment of his adventure, starting in Worth Valley, Yorkshire, where the Bronte sisters once lived. His journey takes him to Oakworth, where he uncovers the connection between the local station and its historic railway line, which played a significant part in a beloved classic film. In Bradford, Michael explores how 19th-century laborers managed to save enough money to purchase their own homes, while in Halifax, he learns about the railway's pivotal role in the town's thriving confectionery industry.
