Something a bit different for the village of Haworth, West Yorkshire...it's first Steampunk weekend took place on the 23rd & 24th November and it seems to have been a great success! Many of the enthusiasts who attend the great Whitby Goth weekends also like to indulge in a spot of "Steampunk". It's based on science-fiction set in the British Victorian era or the Wild West and steam-powered machinery plays a big part. So with Haworth having its own steam railway (as featured in the film
The Railway Children) and the world famous Bronte Parsonage it seemed to be the perfect place to hold such an event.
The wonderful thing about this weekend was the incredible individuality of the outfits on show, anything seems to go as long as a Victorian, Western Steam twist is in there! Here are just a few of the pics I took:
 |
| The Troll-Catcher |
 |
| 6ft5 Debbie, a different dress for each day and night, all equally stunning! |
 |
| A bit of a Cruella De Vil character - she was getting a lot of attention and rightly so! |
 |
| Although not strictly Steampunk, I had to stop this chap for a photo! The hat was bought from the "Sheetland Isles" :D |
|
 |
| And finally, me on the bike, which does have express permission to park there, only me though! |
Good that people keep these old traditions going.
