Hey Folks
At the weekend had a trip to the quite famous town of Holmfirth.
Most famous for being the setting for the long running BBC sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. A sitcom I enjoyed as a youngster, which followed the adventures of our retired heroes, Foggy, Cleggy and Compo.
Holmfirth seems to have more shops, cafes and pubs since I last visited when I was about ten years old.
It seems like Huddersfield's version of Hebden Bridge.
Went to the Elephant and Castle pub for a great pint of Coors and a hanging kebab.
Visited Read. A quaint book shop. It was a stark contrast to the old book shop I had been to earlier in the day.
Visited Daisy Lane Books. A very old and cobwebbed book store, which I'm sure was owned by a wizard and his cats.
It seemed older than the old book shops I usually visit in York. Sadly I didn't find a book I needed.
Went to look at Sids Cafe, which was in most of the Last of the Summer Wine episodes.
