The end of the Woolpack ??

BTW - Yorkshire Facts No 94 - Emmerdale isn't filmed in Esholt anymore.

A nice little earner for the Harewood House estate these days.

And that nice Amanda Burton in Brookside, whatever happened to her?

Soon to be starring as the new headmistress in Waterloo Road apparently...I bet you can't wait.

The modern incarnation of Emmerdale makes me roar. It all went downhill when they dropped 'Farm ' from the title. No existential angst from lah-di-dah southerners in those days. Rather, Joe Sugden uttering such lines as 'Am just off to see t'tups in t'top field'. Or, Amos Brierley spouting 'A plate of bread and butter and a pot of tea, that's one and tuppence, if you please.'

Mr Swindly ( Arthur Lowe ) owned a ladies haberdashery in Coronation Street. His young lady asistant was a certain Emily Bishop. It was the great case of unrequited love on Corrie.

Miss Nugent in those days of course.

Never seen it but she's better than watching that tw4t Morrisey. Of course Claire King from Emmerdale would be my choice before the lovely Amanda. (insert phwoar icon) - off for a cold shower now.

Yorkshire Fact no 95 - The TV series of All Creatures Great and Small was largely filmed in the Wensleydale Village of Askrigg and the Kings Arms Hotel http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/29264/ was used as the Drovers in the TV series.

Basically unchanged still today so you can park your bum in the same seats that Christopher Timothy, Robert Hardy and Peter Davidson squatted on whilst drinking Theakstons...

To continue the Yorkshire Facts series:

No 96 Heartbeat

No 97 Last of the Summer Wine

Miss Nugent in those days of course.

Thanks O.B. for reminding me. She was married at a time I did not watch the program. I got back into it when I met the last mrs. She was an avid fan who rarely missed an episode. So if you can't beatem then join em.

My parents have been in on a sightseeing tour some years ago but it looks like I never will. Anyone else paid a visit ? There is no review done, maybe someone can add one ??

There are a couple of reviews on there now. Slightly confusingly, mine is dated 2009, but that was the date of my original BITE review which I migrated across here which explains why there were none there when the above comment was posted. As it now seems to have re-opened hopefully you will manage to get there.

I thought I reviewed the Goathland Hotel (ie; "Aidensfield Arms") as well, but my visit must have been before I started reviewing. I will upload a couple of photo's at some point though.
