Abstract
“Millcote was a large manufacturing town on the banks of the A——(Aire): a busy place enough, doubtless; so much the better; it would be a complete change at least.”—(Jane Eyre, p. 103.) Millcote was probably Leeds, the stopping place of the Kendal coach which passed Kirkby Lonsdale (Lowton). The references to the George Inn, Millcote, suggest, however, the George Inn, of Bradford, a well-known hostelry in Charlotte Brontë's time, and the meeting place of a literary circle of which Branwell Brontë was a member during his residence in Bradford.
