Fun with Google Earth...

Watched "The Empire That Foggy Nearly Built" on my Series 12 DVD that came from Amazon, which I was happy about. I've been wondering where this location was. Having a clearer picture on the DVD meant better details to spot. This is yet another one I just stumbled across.
Since the DVD picture was clearer than what I originally saw the episode on, I noticed also the name on the side of the wall as the poor victims of Foggy's plan speed out of the disused mill lot. "Spring Mills" and the date was either 1910 or 1918. I couldn't tell. So I did a search for Spring Mills, got a place in Ossett, in Bradford and another place. I didn't think those were the locations.
So I fell back on the ol' familiar locations to see if any of the mills that are present resemble it. Honley... nope.. Marsden... nope.. I decided, okay this was filmed in Huddersfield for the parking deck scene, as is noted in Terry's map section.
I went from there and tried to find a street view that was sort of on a hill so I could have a hopefully good vantage spot over the town. Kind of like what we can kind of see in the above scene.
Anything look familiar between the two pictures?
It did to me. The buildings on the right of the street in the streetview picture, and the two buildings in the picture from the episode in the top right corner.So I checked that location out, and there is indeed a mill today, where the view comes from in the episode. Crowthers Mill in Milnsbridge, Huddersfield. It makes sense, because this location was also where the trio were walking around blindly in the oil cans in "Roll On".
From the episode "The Glory Hole"
View of the hill seen in the distance, but higher on the hilltop on Hey Lane in Honley above the allotment.
Hey Lane view towards New Mill as the trio walks forward through the allotment (which is again lower on the hill).
The allotment that they walk through. Accessible by Hanging Stone Road north of where it splits off from Woodhead Road.

I believe I have found the scene from "Variations on a Theme of the Widow Winstanley" with Clegg, Truly, Billy and Alvin walking by the rock formations.
It's on Mount Road just before you get to Old Mount Road. Between The Carriage House and the Marsden Football Club field.

This spot was used several times Claye during filming over the years,Terry
From the episode "Hermione - The Short Course" where Barry attempts to help Mr. Teesdale in auto repossession.
Thought using the different year satellite views might help. It did here, but looking at current view after it.. nothing had changed... *gets swatted with a hat*
Glendale Mills in New Mill on Sheffield Road.

From the episode "The Second Husband and the Showgirls"..
The opening scene with Billy, Tom and Smiler walking up a road and going down a path. Moor Side Lane in Slaithwaite. The hill in the very far background is Pule Hill in Marsden, which is how I was able to find this location. ;D

From the episode "The Man Who Invented Yorkshire Funny Stuff"..
When Billy remembered who Cyril Cooper married.. Gladys Heptonstall.
This is down the hill in front of a residence's paved driveway. It's across from Ryecroft Therapy in to the east of Green Lane Terrace. Possibly called Prospect Place. Just a bit north of Scapegoat Hill. On the same road as Pennine Manor Hotel.
