This week 1853 Charlotte Bronte visited Manchester staying with Elizabeth Gaskell, who described Bronte as having a nervous dread of strangers. Bronte had previously described Elizabeth Gaskell's House @eilzabethgaskellsh.bsky.social as ‘a large, cheerful, airy house, quite out of Manchester smoke’
