Holmfirth Yorkshire

Apart from the couple of sites where exterior shots are located for the tv comedy, there is precious little to shout about here.
We did have a lovely meal in a pub not a stone's throw from Nora Batty's "house" and the nearby "Sids Cafe"
and then there was the overzealous traffic warden in the supermarket car park, apart from that, nothing!
So, even if you are a fan of Last of the Summer Wine, dont bother. Recommendation level - 1/10

Site of Nora Batty's (Kathy Staff) House. The UK's longest running comedy show ever is Last of the Summer Wine, which first appeared in 1972. It still runs now, in 2005. Old Wrinkled Stockings herself "lived" here. A private house, its occupied as a normal residence.

and here is the steps leading to her door

Compo's house was underneath, entrance via this doorway, now an exhibition dedicated to the memory of Bill Owen who played Compo till his death in 1999. His famous ferrets home can be seen here

The view from Nora Batty's home down to the river.

Here am I in the doorway of Compo's (Bill Owen) home.

Sid's Cafe in Victoria Square. At first was just a "front" but present site owner turned it into the cafe.

An old and small cobblers shop near Nora's House. These are disappearing fast in today's throw away world.

Looking across the river from the car park of the Elephant & Castle towards Noras.

Another cross river viewpoint

The Elephant & Castle who served one mean meat & potato pie! Nora's street on the rear right.

Victoria Square rear centre of image. Sid's Cafe is behind the Ironmongers.

A walk along the river, looking back towards town centre

and in the opposite direction.

Thats it really, nothing else worth showing
