A treasure trove of personal keepsakes just unlocked a real-life Downton Abbey romance at Brodsworth Hall near Doncaster. The love story of Alf, a valet with a passion for photography, and Caroline, a kitchen maid turned cook, is now on display thanks to their grandson’s donation. Their relationship defied the odds—and the advice of everyone around them—leading to a brief but happy marriage before tragedy struck. Seeing their letters, photos, and even Alf’s camera up close makes the lives of those who worked behind the scenes at grand estates feel so much more real. Which stories from your own family history would you want preserved like this? #Entertainment #Books #BrodsworthHall
