Thanks again Marianne. Considering your in America you know a lot about the layout of Holmfirth. Thanks for your comments about my images, I have been a photographer for many years specializing in landscapes mainly but due to my interest and knowlegde in the film and tv industry the two go together quite well.
Anyway will upload some more soon, Dave..
I've spent far too much time wandering around Holmfirth in Google Earth! It's to the point that when I was there for a few days in September, I walked around the back streets very confidently without a map and didn't feel even the least bit disoriented or lost.
There's a supposed footpath that I didn't have the nerve, or wasn't sufficiently dedicated to the series, to risk attempting, though. It comes down into Victoria Park from Binns Lane. The top end appears well-trodden, contained by a fence on the left and a hedge on the right. I looked up it from the bottom, in Victoria Park, and it appeared badly washed out. It's very heavily shaded at that point, so it probably seldom dries. If you're sufficiently sure-footed to walk very uneven ground without risking injury, I'd love to know if it's a bad as I thought.
Here's another Google Earth screenshot showing the path. It's the narrow, pale grey line starting on Binns Lane just under the S in "Start" and coming out into Victoria Park where I've marked "End".
We see our trio headed for the bottom end of the path at the beginning of The Inventor of the Forty-foot Ferret, and apparently having just exited the bottom of the path as they head into the park near the end of the episode. I'm sure the actors or their doubles didn't actually walk up the path, but if it isn't as bad as it looks, I'd someday like to follow their supposed footsteps.
I'm a wanna-be landscape photographer, but my aptitude seems to be more for journalistic kinds of images, rather than for artistic ones. What all the photography holiday leaders I've known sneeringly refer to as "record shots".
