Here By Daniel Lehan

The Brontes enjoyed a swift pint HERE

My painfully detailed research has revealed that writing was not the first career choice of Anne, Charlotte, and Emily Bronte.

It was their second.

In fact, they turned to writing as part of their rehabilitation programme following their release from Cookham Wood prison where they had served time for bank robbery.

The Brontes were in fact notorious and feared for their violent and audacious robberies.

And do it was HERE at The Hermits Cave that they carefully planned their bank jobs.

They were much admired by Ron and Reggie Kray who secretly hoped that The Brontes would eventually challenge and replace the notorious Richardsons as South London's premier criminal family.

I can also reveal that when The Brontes eventually moved to Yorkshire to concentrate on their writing, they drew upon their prison experiences by scripting the pilot episodes of Prisoner Cell Bock H, the Australian television series much enjoyed by polite society in nineteenth Century England.
