In episodes in some of the later series where scenes are shot in front of the fireplace I have noticed a number of tropies on the fire surround and in a cabinet to its left...I laughed, they couldn't be for sporting prowess I think...but maybe one is for tiddlywinks and another for holding coats...

I totally agree minxie, on the same wavelength..norman had a disadvantaged upbringing and I think it affected him enormously for better and for worse....it allowed him to singularly push ahead into a film career, but as time went on and he got older and took small parts in summer wine and plays...

yes compo, as chuck says, streetview is a good option...there are a few "proper" old fashioned, welcoming pubs to the left and right of the café square as you look at it from the webcam.

thanks compo, found that, but no email.

yes, the impression I get is that milburn is ivy's blood relative.

wholly agree...this site isn't the place for soliciting money !

I really looked forward to first of the summer wine, but when it arrived I just couldn't get my head around it...I did persist hoping it would grow on me but it never did. :'(

They have a website but no email contact as far a I can see.

It would be great to have a live webcam ferret....I wonder if beatties has a website or email address....might be worth a look and contact !!

well from Holmfirth to heartbeat country your quickest way is M62, M1 and A1M...all interconnected.....not pretty but quick .

did any of you older guys like me make their own "soap carts, or trolleys " we used to call them "bogeys" in leeds but I think that was named after the railway trucks, not the snotty meaning.....old pram wheels with a wooden frame board affixed and steered with a cord attatched to the front...

agreed ferret, definitely more straight forward and glorious in its own right....but if time isn't an issue what a wonderful run with so much varied landscape from Hawes to Holmfirth.. :)

yes codfanglers, the series ran for so long that each "era", so to speak` had its own qualities. I've loved to see the evolution of the programme and the way it adapted to changes in society :)

very clever.. :)

off back to Holmfirth in may with my son...we have tickets for the tour :)
