Watt the Dickens

Portrait of Betty Treacle on the road to Turton Tower. Copied from the imaginary collection of Miss Gill. It is said that Betty never really made the journey to Turton Tower but that she truly believed that Turton Tower really existed. She did not, however, believe in the ocean: “The Sea”, she is said to have said, “is too far-fetched for words”.
