Compo Question

[Bora Natty]

I saw something this morning, That Compo had purchased a house in Holmfirth. Is that true and would anybody know the address and maybe have a picture. Thanks!

I have heard the same but don't know for sure. He did rent a property thought & that gets pointed out on the summer wine bus tour.

I was always under the impression he rented while filming

But, but, it was on the internet, it has to be true..

If I remember right you are told a bit about it on Colins Summerwine tour

 

[Roger]

He rented the same house every year.

Experience shows lots of errors but people take things as gospel & it's almost impossible to challenge or change.

I've posted this before, but I think this article pretty much debunks the theory that Compo bought a place in Holmfirth...

 

[Bora Natty]

Thank you Barry, you came through again!

Compo's most commonly used bedroom window. This is the small side room in the Wrinkled stocking tearoom. Worth a visit!

Except - it's not the window they used... but you'll have to wait and see a later episode of "Summer Wine Decanted" to find out more! ;-)

I know that they used various windows along the row, including the very end one on the fair trade shop with the broken window sill. It has been stated in period publications.

Given the size and shape of Compo's house, in reality, his bedroom window couldn't have been any further over than his living room window.

Still a neat picture, thanks Graham!
