The Bronte Birthplace, located on Market Street in Thornton, Bradford, is the historic home where the Bronte sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—along with their brother Branwell, were born and lived before moving to Haworth. This significant site has undergone various transformations over the years, including serving as a butcher's shop and a restaurant, before being restored as a museum dedicated to the Bronte legacy.
In 2021, a blue plaque was unveiled to commemorate the 203rd anniversary of Emily Bronte's birth, highlighting the building's importance in English literature. Following renovations, the Bronte Birthplace was officially reopened on May 15, 2025, by Queen Camilla during a royal visit celebrating Bradford's designation as City of Culture.
