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 an expensive recreational photo for early White Horse pub...

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 advertising a company name on the side of their building not a...

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 myself in the process. As you say some of them are very old...

I remember seeing a sink in a bedroom and thinking it odd as well. Believe it might have been the show "Fresh Fields" or "The Squirrels". Then thought well if you just want to brush your teeth and the spouse is already in the bathroom down the hall. Might come in handy. Just remembered in...

Thanks on the info, Alexo, that is good to know. I was hoping it would be somewhat walk-able friendly since most show-related things seem to be within a 5 mile or so radius of Norah's. Somewhat tempted to hire a car (or bicycle) for exploring Holmfirth, but after many decades of driving on the...

Greets and Weclome to ya, @Alexo ! Sounds like you really enjoyed walking about in the Holmfirth countryside. Something I would still like to do eventually. Did you just type in Jackson Bridge on your phone and follow the route from Norah's? Or use a handheld GPS type of thing? Cheers, Rick

My apologies. It was the Rooms at the Nook that you mentioned to me @Marianna some years ago. Growing up I remember a bookstore called The Book Nook. Seems I got my wires crossed. :fp:

Is that the episode where Hyacinth wants to have the boat moved away from a larger one? So it does not look as small next to it.

Hope you have a nice trip there, WellyMan. The Foxglove looks nice, let us know what you think of it. I believe @Marianna has been to the Daisy Lane bookshop a time or two. Hopefully she will chime in when she gets a chance.

That is one of my favorites.

You are up late, FlatCap50. Not seen Dunkirk yet but it is in my queue.

Glad that they are doing well enough to expand. Sorry to hear that the previous owner took everything from the downstairs museum.

Quite the list there @BruceC , you have many of my top favs in there. Kelly's Heroes and Where Eagles Dare are family favorites. Saving Private Ryan is another great film. An amazing TV series is Band of Brothers. A must watch if not seen it and a war movie fan. Follows the 101st...

I do have a new found respect for the range of his acting abilities.

Surprised at how many actors in Benidorm I am recognizing from other shows.
