Shibden Hall, home of Anne Lister.

Ойын-сауық

Anne Lister of Shibden Hall, Halifax, was a remarkable woman; a landowner, business woman, diarist, mountaineer, traveller and lesbian. Throughout her life she kept diaries running to around five million words - three times the length of Samuel Pepys’.
According to her diary, Anne was tall, with a boyish figure. Her hair was arranged in tight curls on either side of her face. Anne chose to wear a black dress trimmed with a neck ruff, stout boots and in her black coat and round hat (rather than a feminine bonnet) she presented an unusual sight around Halifax. How she dressed and conducted herself led to her pejorative nickname “Gentleman Jack”.
Anne’s diary entries chronicle her daily life, including thoughts on the weather, social events, national events and her business interests. Approximately one sixth of the diaries are written in code. This clever combination of Greek letters and algebraic symbols, self-invented by Anne from her teenage years onwards, is referred to by Anne as her ‘crypt hand’
Anne Lister's story is being brought to our screens in a new eight part BBC production 'Gentleman Jack', starring Suranne Jones, written by Sally Wainwright and partially filmed on location at Shibden Hall.

    I know. I grew up with pictures of shibdon hall in our home. My dad is related by a cousin of Anne & Marian. I've always wanted to visit. It's on my bucket list. I can't believe they didn't renue for season 3. They left us hanging. They have all these ridiculous series on HBO that they kept, but won't continue with season 3 or 4 of Gentleman Jack. It makes no sense 😕

    I grew up with old photos of shibdon gracing on side of our hallways. My mothers ancestors castles in Ireland on the other. My dad's family is from Queensbury. I can't remember how it goes now, but he's related to the listers by way of a cousin. My mom's family decended from Ireland and came to the US in the early 1900's. Going to shibdon has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. My whole family was thrilled when they filmed Gentleman Jack. We've been sorely saddened by the fact that they aren't renuing for season 3. I hope they change their minds. For those who don't know, when Anne passed away, she was still with Ann Walker. But it took over 6 MNTHS to get her body back to shibdon. Back then they were just dabbling with embalming via the arteries. Ann walker wanted Anne lister well preserved, so she spared no expense to have Anne brought back to Halifax in good condition. Her funeral was so big it lined the streets. Thousands of people from all walks of life came to wish her farewell. She was loved and well liked by everyone. From what my dad has told me, even those who didn't like her did like her if than makes sense. She was respected. So sad how she passed away... but while alive, she sure did live!!

    Luckily, you are misstaken! I have used many archives and learned that most curators consider gloves a poor choice, because they diminish one's finger top sensation -- which, in turn causes accidents. Degreasing your hands with a thorough wash seems therefore much safer.

    If you want to know what happens to a Historical Property, if not turned into a Museum (not an "Amusement Park" as stated), then look up Hanworth Park House, in Hanworth, Greater London. It's criminal what's happened to that place. It would be nice if their local Council had cared enough to look after it, once they'd taken it on. Now it's in private hands, and the Community are working with the owner, who also wants to save the place, but the Council are stopping a lot of the work, so it's all got really messy. But... it show's what can happen, if a place and it's history, are left and not taken up by Council's and Trusts.
