This is what Top Withins will look like

In their Preliminary Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) Calderdale Energy Park have thoughtfully provided us with an image of how the landscape at Top Withins (widely believed to be the inspiration for the location of Wuthering Heights in Emily Brontë’s novel of that name) would look. Nick MacKinnon of the Stronger Together group Walshaw Turbines Research Group has aligned the photograph given in the PEIR of the view from the path to Top Withins from the Brontë waterfall with the ‘wire diagram’ of the landscape and turbines that the PEIR calculates from the CEP image, and has marked Top Withins on the wire diagram. You can look at this yourself in Appendix 12.2 of the PEIR

Kate Bush (67) and Emily Brontë (207) share a birthday on 30 July, and Clare Shaw of the Stronger Together Boggarts group has organised a Massed Wuther on Penistone in Haworth, in sight of Wuthering Heights. These happen all over the world, but this is the first under Wuthering Heights itself, and somebody came from Pittsburgh to be with us. The dancers hope to draw attention to the plan of three very rich men to destroy one of the most famous bits of high ground on Earth, in return for money. The dance is hard, and we and our friends have been rehearsing for weeks. Kick, sway, crouch, shiver, push a window, push a window, left hand down the neck …
