Happy birthday to the only and unique Ann Walker of Lightcliffe ❤️👒

She inspires me and became my hero that much! Everytime I think I need strength and faith I think of her. ❤️

Thank you, Ann! For being such a force in this Earth. I celebrate you and your day.

Ann Walker’s death 1854 was bad news for her tenant in Crow Nest Lightcliffe. Busy with his mill at not a year old, the Salts had to leave the home they loved. In 1867 Titus grabbed the mansion at a bargain price when it failed to sell at auction. https://t.co/z9BB8xZt43
