[maltrab]

Well used crossroads and lane. Its here that Marina and Howard, on their bikes, pass the ladies in Edies Red Triumph Herald car and also used for various other encounters. The lane in the distance where the trees are is also a well recognised locationView attachment 1109

I believe this spot has been used in more episodes than anywhere else

No, there wasnt anything as far as I could see. Ive been in the White Horse pub, Jackson Bridge, which was one of the most used pubs but there is only a handful of photographs of the main characters showing them in the pub, but thats all. The landlord previous to who runs it now had pictures everywhere, obviously the new landlord has taken them down all but the few. The only locations that advertise the fact is Nora's and Compo's houses which has the exhibition and sid's cafe which has photos and a false counter in the position it was in the show (photos of cafe to be uploaded)

Morning all, a wetter start to the day in Holmfirth but I am travelling back home today so not so bad. Here are some images I think you will be interested in, the real interior of Sid's Cafe. Ive taken the images going left to right, facing the door. You will see that on the second picture the false counter, they keep in the position it was in the series but pushed up to the wall. The hatch and doorway are also fake as it is really a brick wall not the prep area we see in tbe show. The third photo shows where the real counter and prep area is, its facing you as you walk into the cafe. This was borded up to make it look just like a wall when outside shots exposed that area. The magic of filming, I love it.

Here the exterior of the cafe that hasnt changed much over the years, so iconic.

This is the super market at the back of the bus station which has been used as the work place of Marina. One scene that springs to mind is when Barry has been given the task of delivering a note from Howard to Marina but he gives it to Eli instead to give to Marina but he gets it wrong and we all know the outcome.

Hi folks, just got back home and unpacking but here is a photo to be going on with for now. Compo's ferret cage/box, stored in a small recess to the left of his door. More photos later. Cheers all

When I was there in late September, someone was doing some work on the strip of ground from the grave down to the paved area behind the church. I couldn't tell what outcome was intended. How has it turned out? Grass? Flowers? Other plants?

 

[Daveg]

Morning Marriana,
I must admit I didnt really notice anything that was recently done. Perhaps it was the patch of grass that leads down to the church. As you can see from the photo there is something being marked out with sticks and string, next to the grave.

 

[Daveg]

Here is the world famous Betting shop that Compo frequents all too often and the second picture shows the street its in, thats also been is used very often. Note the betting shop at the centre and The Elephant and Castle pub up at the top. Around the corner from the pub there is the bridge where Nora's and Compo's houses are situated. This street is very narrow but the traffic never stops, originally this road was the main thorough fair through the town until the main road was built as it is now.

 

[Daveg]

Two images of Daisy Lane Book Shop. Its not changed over the years, mind you its such a small area nothing could. The couple in the one photo are being shown, by the the owner, where Nora and Compo's houses are.

He probably was just planting grass, then. That was the ideal time of year for it.

Anybody know if this building was ever used? Its situated above Holmfith by the track they walked a lot and where the Holmfirth view is taken. I remember the shelter they used in Victoria Park, which now isnt there but not sure about this building.

 

[gill]

Thank's again for the lovely photo's Dave. Don't recall that building at the moment, but i'm sure someone on the forum will know.

 

[Daveg]

This shot shows the area you never see. Its the area that characters go around to, left of Nora Batties steps.

Top of Cliff Bank. Used by dog walkers daily and young drinkers nightly.

Don't remember ever seeing it in SW though.
