The Apothecary - home to the Curiosity Society

The building which served as Haworth's old apothecary is situated just opposite the church and the Black Bull at the top of Haworth's main street.

Reconstruction of Haworth's apothecary as it would have looked in the 1840s

Back in the time of the Brontes this was the druggist's store where Branwell Bronte is believed to have purchased his laudanum, an opium based narcotic which was popular as a painkiller (and which was also used as a "recreational" drug too). This 1840s druggist's store was recreated recently (along with other buildings in the village) for the filming of a BBC drama called "To Walk Invisible" (pictured above).

Today the building has a beautifully restored vintage styled interior serving well its latest incarnation as the "Cabinet of Curiosities" - home of The Curiosity Society. Just next door is the Apothecary Guest House and the Apothecary Tea Rooms.
