Holmfirth was, in its genesis, little more than a northern industrial textile town, despite the fact that it nestled in some stunningly beautiful countryside. By the mid-1960s many of the mills had gone out of business and the short branch railway had closed in May 1965. For years the station buildings and many of the mills stood derelict, gaunt decaying reminders of Victorian enterprise that the modern world had sadly passed by. Then in 1971 something rather unusual happened that would change Holmfirth forever, the writer Roy Clarke was commissioned to write a short play about three old men for the BBC's "Comedy Playhouse Series". In June 1972 a BBC film crew arrived in Holmfirth, and on 4th January 1973 the first-ever "Last of the Summer Wine" programme hit the TV screens.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Holmfirth was, in its genesis, little more than a northern industrial textile town, despite the fact that it nestled in some stunningly beautiful countryside. By the mid-1960s many of the mills had gone out of business and the short branch railway had closed in May 1965. For years the station buildings and many of the mills stood derelict, gaunt decaying reminders of Victorian enterprise that the modern world had sadly passed by. Then in 1971 something rather unusual happened that would change Holmfirth forever, the writer Roy Clarke was commissioned to write a short play about three old men for the BBC's "Comedy Playhouse Series". In June 1972 a BBC film crew arrived in Holmfirth, and on 4th January 1973 the first-ever "Last of the Summer Wine" programme hit the TV screens. Really popular as the setting for the 35-year long BBC comedy television programme, "Last of The Summer Wine", Holmfirth also had a fascinating little railway, which was also used as a location in the embryonic British motion picture industry. This book tells its 115 year history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781903016633
