    As well as the Holmfirth Filming Locations we will show you round the town including some of the heritage blue plaque locations, the famous Holmfirth Picturedrome and the various pubs, restaurants, businesses and places in the Town Centre.
    Holmfirth is a small town on the A6024 Woodhead Road in the Holme Valley, within the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. Centred upon the confluence of the Holme and Ribble rivers, Holmfirth is 6 miles south of Huddersfield and 13 miles northeast of Glossop.
    Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Holmfirth was once a centre for pioneering film-making by Bamforth & Co., which later switched to the production of saucy seaside postcards. Between 1973 and 2010 both Holmfirth and the Holme Valley became well known as the filming location of the BBC's situation comedy Last of the Summer Wine.
    Holmfirth (and the surrounding countryside) is the setting for the BBC's long-running comedy Last of the Summer Wine. Thousands of tourists flock to the area each year to enjoy scenery and locations familiar from the series. Filming of the TV Slaithwaite-based drama, Where the Heart Is, had also taken place in and around the area.
    Holmfirth constitutes a town of its own almost seven miles (11 km) south of the larger town of Huddersfield. While the town of Holmfirth itself is comparatively small, it is surrounded by several hamlets and villages.
    These neighbouring settlements are often collectively referred to as "Holmfirth" and include:- Austonley, Arrunden, Burnlee, Cinderhills, Cliff, Deanhouse, Netherthong, Gully, Flushhouse, Hade Edge, Thongsbridge, Upperthong and Washpit. Many of these are located on Cartworth Moor.
    Shown in over 25 countries, Last of the Summer Wine is the longest running sitcom in the world. Filming took place in Holmfirth and across the Holme Valley. You'll recall familiar scenes when you visit Nora Batty's steps, Sids Café and the Last of the Summer Wine Exhibition.

    Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it. Holmfirth was my hometown from 1970 to 2000. Prior to the filming of ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ much of the infrastructure was in poor condition. The Woollen mills were all in full swing. The river Holme used to run with many different colours when the dye works washed out their vats This all changed when the series started to be filmed there. The town blossomed and now the mills have all been turned into apartments and very nice ones too! I well remember walking around the town snd seeing the actors in the series. They almost. became part of the scenery and apparently loved. being there. As you said Bill Owen is buried in St John’s Churchyard at Upperthong. He said that he considered it his spiritual home. Next to him now is Peter Sallis who played Cleggy. The countryside around the town is stunning and well worth a visit in its own right.

      One of the things I wasn’t expecting was the scenery as I drove towards Holmfirth
      It absolutely blew my mind!
      I live in North Sheffield so not far away at all but had never known just how amazingly scenic the whole area is!

    Now we have had a general tour of Holmfirth, how about a specifically "Last Of The Summer Wine" video? Including you going up the steps beside "Sid's Cafe" that the three main characters often walked up. There are surely several filming locations you could show us like the adjacent homes of Howard/Pearl and Cleggy. Suggest you start at the bus station so that visitors intending to come by bus can get their bearings. I'm from London with a daughter in Leeds and I did visit (or try to visit) Homfirth in the summer of 2018. I was on the 314 bus from Huddersfield and around a mile short of the bus station, the rain came bucketing down. No umbrella. I ended up having to wait in the shelter of the bus station and let two buses towards Huddersfied go before I got on the third one with rain still teeming down. Planned 2-3 hour walkaround abandoned

    I was born in Holmfirth and lived there until I was 16 years old when we emigrated to Australia. I visited the town in 2000 and realised what a tourist location it had become, quite different to when I lived there. I really enjoyed your walk around the town and it brought back many fond memories.

    Jackson Bridge, where Cleggy's house is, and the White Horse, is small for a walk but worth it. You could go onto Holmbridge - 2 miles up the road - from there. Holmbridge is a lovely village.

    Came here in June 2019 and it is a lovely little town. Had a nice cup of coffee inside Sid's Cafe and took the Summer Wine bus tour which is well worth doing. The bus driver is very knowledgeable about the show and takes you to a lot of locations including where some of the cast lived during filming. Also visited the church where Peter Sallis and Bill Owen are buried next to each other. The Summer Wine exhibition is excellent and a must-see if you come to Holmfirth

    Very interesting! I see the traffic in Holmfirth is just as bad as when I last drove through the town. Perhaps you could visit the site of Aunty Wainwright’s shop in Marsden? It was quite funny to see the BBC staff bolting the imitation shop front on to the building after it was turned into a house between their filming visits! A very clever idea. The Marsden Mechanic’s Institute Tower is a local landmark and unmissable.One of my favourite locations is the entrance of the railway and separate Canal tunnel at Standedge where Compo had his adventures in the oil barrel submarine (a very clever radio controlled device in reality, I’d love to know more about the skilled people who made the mechanical props). Finally, I always enjoyed counting the number of times that the Emley Moor TV tower appeared in the programme. It’s a beautiful tower and I’ve been privileged to visit the observation deck during my broadcasting days (ITV/IBA) where you could see all over the LoTSW countryside. Yorkshire is beautiful. Regards, Rob.

  • @roytabberer7427
    @roytabberer7427 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I used to drive coaches for a living and here are my notes for when I went to Holmfirth with my passengers:-
    HOLMFIRTH
    An attractive town where cinema films were being made by the Bamforth Brothers only months after the first ever film was produced in 1895. The Bamforths are famous for their comic 'cheeky' postcards, still manufactured in the town. From the bus station looking in the opposite direction to Nora Batty's house you can see Bamforth's factory, easily recognisable by a row of white window frames on the first floor.
    The town and surrounding hillsides are now familiar to millions of British Television viewers as the setting for the popular comedy series 'Last of the Summer Wine', with its characters, Compo, Seymour & Clegg, (originally with Compo, Foggy & Clegg), see the exterior of Nora Batty's house and enjoy refreshments in 'Sid's Cafe', which really is a cafe.
    Near the 18th century church is a pillar erected in 1802 to commemorate the Peace of Amiens. On this, a plaque records the extraordinary height to which flood water rose in 1852 when Bilberry Reservoir burst and 90 million gallons came thundering down the valley, 81 people were killed, damage was estimated at £250,000. In 1944 another 5 people died from floods.
    Many local playwrights lived in the town, the most famous being George Taylor, most of his plays have a mill town background.
    There is a monument that you can see both from Huddersfield and from Holmfirth set high on the hill called 'Castle Hill'. This was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee. It is said that on a clear day you can see York Minster some 35 miles away.
    The row of houses between Nigel Hinchliffes gift shop and the Elephant and Castle is known as Hollowgate. Not many years ago the houses were in ruins but now there are picturesque shops.

    Holmfirth is also famous for its worsted cloth.
    PLACES TO NOTE AND HOW TO GET THERE FROM BUS STOP.
    NIGEL HINCHLIFFES GIFT SHOP
    Walk down from bus stop to bridge, shop on corner opposite. Here you can buy a guide to Summer Wine Country.
    SIDS CAFE
    Not so long ago Sid's Cafe was only a cafe in the summer, in the winter it was a paint and wallpaper shop. It is situated on the opposite corner to Nigel Hinchliffes gift shop and next to the church.
    The interior was filmed in a TV studio, If you look or go into the cafe you will see that the interior is totally different to the studio set.
    NORA BATTY'S HOUSE
    From Nigel Hinchliffes shop go up towards Hollowgate, past the Elephant & Castle (on your left), after approx. 300 yards look across the river to her house.
    THE POST CARD PUB
    Go down hill to bridge across bridge and turn right towards Huddersfield, pub on right, inside large drawings of postcards and reasonably priced meals.

    Thanks for Holmfirth, I live 10 miles from there and spent 30 years from 1969 working just outside the town on the Holme Moss road.
    I moved to our Huddersfiel branch in 1999 and retired in 2009, I've not really bben back to look round since, quite a few shops have changed.
    Trying to park at lunch time to pick up some fish and chips or a sandwich was a nightmare and driving on Hollow Gate you risked running over tourists gawping at Nora Batty's house.
    It used to amuse us to see them turn a corner in Holmfirth and appear in Meltham or Marsden, somethin non locals probably didn't know.
    We have a set of 6 postcard photoes of the May 1944 floods which my late father in law had, sadly I don't do Facebook so can't put them on your site.
