Eva's Back In Town, she says it to Alvin I think?

For a bit of fun and to find out just how many there actually are. So a character in that episode has to have said the full name of that episode in dialogue. I'll start with Series 19 episode Nowhere Particular. Spoken by Howard inside...

My best guess would be between 1930s and 1950s before the roads got busier with the family car. A quick Google search surprised me to learn that aerial photography existed from late 1850s from stationary balloons and later kites. As...

Very good point, I had forgotten about that. Make it more difficult for enemy navigation. All those episodes of "Dad's Army" should have reminded me. :-) I was thinking the factory almost looked shuttered. Also it could have been...

Great picture, interested to know more when it was taken. A search shows that the White Horse dates back to at least 1833. Black & white photography in 1820's. I don't see any signage on the pub or the warehouse / factory. Was...

Sorry I speed read your post, I think the locals call it Tenter hill, though to be honest the top would be further up Scar Hole Lane

Welcome @Alexo, really hope you stick around on this site. You'll love it I promise! Hopefully you can make it down to Mid Summer Wine Day in June!

Wheres smiler with his tandem when you need him :29:

A bicycle would limit your exploration to Huddersfield/Woodhead Road and Hollowgate unless you're up for riding on hills. Was https://www.traveline.info/ available the last time you looked at bus transport? It's accurate and quite...

@RickAns You're spot on with what you said about walking. Being able to stop, take in the view from all angles and take pictures and check the map constantly is just so much easier on foot than in a car. It may take longer to get places...

Rick I'd be very careful about walking on the stone walls, a lot of them are fragile and it's forbidden to walk in them, some are hundreds of years old and built without mortar. Make sure you Google the dos and don'ts wouldn't want to...

Thank you for the warning, Pearl. In all honesty, I was just teasing around about doing that. Was more waxing nostalgic on Compo and Clegg. Personally, wouldn't do something like that which might damage someone else's property or...
