Shibden Hall is an estate in Halifax, West Yorkshire, that used to be residence of the Lister family, and is now a museum.
I visited the place and, naturally, this is the pics:
The diarist Anne Lister lived at Shibden Hall.
I took many, many photos here and it was a struggle to pick ones for the blog. Here’s some of the rooms:
At the back of the house there’s The Folk Museum; workshops with displays of traditional crafts such as blacksmith, wheelwright, cooper, etc.
Park surrounding the house:
Anne Lister is the subject of TV series Gentleman Jack, which was also filmed here (they’re about to film some Season 2 scenes here, or they might be doing it at the time of this post’s publication, unsure about exact dates). Suranne Jones plays Anne Lister and Sophie Rundle is Ann Walker, her last lover. I can’t comment in any way on it, as I haven’t seen this show.
I bought the customary fridge magnet at the gift shop. Also a pen. That is a new thing for me. Not buying pens, but buying pens from museum gift shops.
Some Photoblog 
This was an excellent post. I love the Horner portrait, and the house was quite ornate. And, Halifax, Halifax- reminds me of a recent prompt? Thanks for playing along!
