I'd been told to find the Church in the centre of town and to park up in that area then take a good walk around.
We located the Church, and parked up to take a good walk. It was interesting and nice, the heavens opened with heavy rain a time or two, so we took shelter in a cafe, book shop and pub.
Never drunk so much tea in one sitting though.
The River Holme runs through the centre of this very nice and picturesque town.
There are numerous cottages and top and bottom houses, with the interesting steps.
Many narrow streets around the backs of the main streets. All cobbled, cute and interesting.
I like areas like this, they have so much history.
You don't come across many Cobblers shops nowadays either.
One thing we did notice and have in previous villages in these hilly locations.
The lack of bicycles.
You wouldn't half struggle to pedal up some of these hills.
These photographs are my own of course and this is the famous cafe from the Television series.
They had this 'dummy' of 'Compo' at the front.
The late Bill Owen played an amazing character in the series.
We had a drink in here. Talking to folk, filming had been going on the day before. They change all the doors, and carry out scenic changes which amaze the locals.
Good stuff this television production.
Again, you can imagine the overall labour involved in the original construction of towns in these locations especially.
I liked how they had built the shelter over the River as well.
They had some coloured lights pointing down towards the river from the main bridge in the town centre. They changed colours periodically automatically, blue, yellow, red, etc. I think it must have looked very effective during the hours of darkness.
