One
of many educational trips to Holmfirth Library.
Filling one of their long days of enforced unemployment discussing
ways of
making the best use of Clegg's antiquated bicycle. Episode
-"Forked Lightning".
The modern real library in the centre of Holmfirth is not used for
filming.
Holmfirth Methodist Church in Crown Bottom was (and still is) used
as the
location for the LOTSW Library.

Sadly
Michael Bates (Blamire) died leaving a huge void. Although it was
thought that his death would mean the end of Summer Wine, the
decision was
made to make another series with a new character to compliment Compo
and
Clegg. The arrival of "Foggy" (Brian Wilde) was the start
of a whole new era
of misadventure. Foggy's first encounter with "Big Mal"
wasn't the best start.
However "Big Mal" did have a word on the side with
Compo and Clegg,
"Look after that Barmpot, you'll get some good mileage out of
him".

"Big
Day at Dream Acres"
Everyone helps out at the local fete. Filmed on Spring Lane, Jackson
Bridge
this hour long episode included big star Ray McAnally who played a
tramp.

Posing
for a publicity photo in "Sid's Cafe" at Boreham Wood Studios.
The studio set expertly designed and built is an exact copy of the
actual
interior of the cafe in the Church Square, Holmfirth. Some scenes
have been
filmed in the cafe but it proved too small for cast and crew.
The studio
replica has removable walls to allow better camera and crew movement
and
space. Have you noticed it's a studio set.? Difficult because even
the autumn leaves blow in the open door of the cafe from Church
Square despite being in a studio. The exterior of the real Sid's
Cafe is still used for location filming in Holmfirth - you may see
the crew filming during a visit to the Holme Valley.

Foggy
went off to the East Coast to decorate eggs and left behind Compo
and
Clegg. Edie's brother, Seymour Utterthwaite, played by
Shakespearean actor
Michael Aldridge, dropped lucky when he found himself a "test
pilot" for his
many crackpot inventions - Compo Simonite. This scene is from
"Uncle of the Bride".

| Time
for a cuppa? Syd and Ivy (John Comer and Jane Freeman) having a
joke at Compo's expense. His unusual hat and jacket being the
subject of the joke.
