Today was the highlight of our Anne Lister pilgrimage. We walked on Anne’s footpath and saw all the places suggested in the little booklet „Anne Lister’s York Walking Tour“ by Sarah Cowling. It’s highly recommended! #bringbackgentlemanjack #LegoShibden #AnneLister #AnneWalker

DYK #AnneLister (d.1840) lived in the closet?. Her diaries revealed many secret affairs w/women, including #AnneWalker, but she publicly disavowed them, claiming each was a “#PassionateFriendship”, that she only “… went to the utmost extent of friendship but that was enough”.
