Got the US DVD release of Last of the Summer Wine Vintages 1988 and 1989 in the mail today (series 10 and 11). So tonight I watched "Treasure of the Deep" and "Three Men and a Mangle". Here's the Dry Cleaner from "Treasure of the Deep".
42 Blackmoorfoot Road in Huddersfield. Doesn't look like it's changed much aside from some bushes.

Well spotted Claye
Alright, THIS location is one of those that I shock myself when finding it. From "Who Made a Splash in Wales Then?". The house of Foggy's lady friend.
Basically, I was looking around Marsden where they filmed the garage and then looked around where the map scene was and tried to align where the sun was shining when they met up with Foggy and how the land was. I then ran across what looked like the same hill top above the line of houses near Elland. Wow!
Even the gate is still there! LOL 57 Yew Tree Road, Huddersfield (south of Elland) between the M62 and Lindley.

It is that busy road Junction in New Mill,about 5 roads meet at this spot,Terry
A while back before I started this thread, I posted in the photos thread a picture of the lake in Marsden that has what appears to be a sunken boat in the middle. I decided to check and see if it's still there. It is and there's also a panoramio picture of it with the title "remember the titanic"..

The third image helps date it as Foggy is still wearing his RASC scarf and Cleggy actually has his Pakamac buttoned up! By the way - his was the nylon version (would have cost about £3.50 in decimal - 69/6 in old money rather than the much cheaper plastic version: I know this because I sold the thigns in the 1960s!)
Hmmm.. I remember sending this location to Terry but not publicly on here. This one is from Surprise at Throstlenest. Reggie Unsworth's place.
Cote Lane in Holmfirth before it becomes Choppards Bank Road. Also the long road/driveway in the driving scene to this is at Moss Edge Road south of Holmbridge.

EDIT: This is from "The Mystical Squeak of Howard's Bicycle".
The scene after the opening credits of "The Mystical Squeak of Howard's Bicycle" where Truly, Billy and Clegg fall with the fence gate.
Gate of residence on Wolfstones Road between Wickins Lane and Wilshaw Road just north of Upperthong.
This is the scene where Astrid is being weird.. er.. um... being one with nature.... and a big one at that!
This was on Howbrook Lane just south of Wortley (other filming locations have been shot there) between the A629 and the A616 looking southwest. Unfortunately there's no streetview of Howbrook Lane, so I used Woodhead Road which is nearby, and still has a good view of the hill in the background.
