Loved visiting Halifax during my research trip to see Shibden Hall and Anne Lister’s letters at West Yorkshire Archive Services as part of my project, The Heiress: Women, Property and Economics, 1780-1900, at Ghent University 😊
(And yes, I did get the fish soap 😁)

Mini #BrickdenHall in the making. I hope to upload it on Rebrickable soon. I thought it was nice to add Adney‘s Bridge. The topography is my own fantasy. The style of the set is inspired by Lego postcard sets. #BringBackGentlemanJack #ShibdenHall #AnneLister

Yesterday’s walk took us past #ShibdenHall I love being able to imagine what life might have been like for our ancestors. And, of course, to pretend I’m the lady of the manor 😂
Another grey day in #Halifax but going for a walk to #ShibdenHall soon. That should blow away the cobwebs 😁
