Locations...

I have my guesses thanks to a scene in the opening of "The Bandit from Stoke On Trent" that the scene with the bus was on New Fold where it ends, across the stream from the pub known as Jacob's Well.

As for the carpark in "The Empire That Foggy Nearly Built", I'm thinking that might be Bank Bottom Mill in Marsden. It's on the same road with the tunnel that Clegg leads the couple under. Like you said much development happens and I'm just guessing that maybe Bank Bottom Mill was run down and has since been rebuilt or renovated.

The location for the fish and chip van in "Getting Sam Home" looks familiar.

Was it the same location used in the episode "The Empire That Foggy Nearly Built" where Foggy directs motorists to a car park with the aid of Compo?

Could it be on opposite bank of the river from Compo and Nora's house?

However, the area was redeveloped some years ago and so will be totally different from what is seen on Google Earth.

Maybe a visit to a local library would be the only way to prove one way or another.

I would tend to agree with that as many of the locations on earlier episodes didn't stray far from Holmfirth, probably due to cost considerations.

At that time, tourism and Summer Wine spotters would have been thin on the ground and less of a problem during filming.

The "Getting Sam Home" and "The Empire Foggy Nearly Built" are the same locations and its where the co-op is, its been used numerous times in the series but cant think of the eps

Gotta love GoogleEarth and how it has 3D terrain on it. I believe I have found that stone bridge that has appeared in Series 19 and 20 and maybe future episodes (haven't gone farther than 20 right now). I can't really tell because the straight section of the creek is in the shade so I can't really tell if there's a bridge or not. The area I'm looking at is in Marsden along Waters Road near the Hey Green Hotel.

Looking at the chip van shot it looks like a canal in the top left corner so that would not be Holmfirth - possibly Marsden not far from Tunnel End: however I think a lot of redevelopment there a few years back which would, of course, explain why it was difficult to find.

Last night on GoogleEarth I found the building that was used as the pub where Howard, Truly, Compo and Clegg follow Pearl and the ladies in "Howard Throws a Wobbler". It's the building where Longley Edge Lane and Dyson Lane meet in either Snittlegate or Hade Edge.

What I can't figure out, those of you near Holmfirth might be able to tell better. Is that Holme Moss or the Emily Moor Tower? I've been looking at these two spots on GoogleEarth and I'm leaning towards it being Holme Moss in the distance.

Thanks to GoogleEarth and some using of photoshop to make a panorama picture of the scene. I believe I have found Willis' farm. It's north of Thurstonland and that tower/transmitter is Emley Moor. I have compared the tree growth, the dry wall placements not only for the horses but in the background and I have also spotted the two buildings in the background between the horses and the tower.

There is also the Holme Moss transmitter up there, I shall check out the episode and see if I can identify it better for you

Much appreciated, but in the last post I made on this. I have indeed found the location. It is north of Thurstonland, on Green Side Road. That tower you see isn't Holme Moss, you have no idea how many times I compared it and looked at it at all angles. The tower is Emley Moor.

I'm a big fan of First of the Summer Wine and was wondering where the Co-op shop was.I think it's a post office now.I remember Compo(Bill Owen) lying on the ground outside of it waiting for Nora in I think Extra,extra.

Looking around where the trio meet up with Mr. Lucy in the episode The Pony Set, which is Armitage Road in Milnsbridge I stumbled upon another filming location for the show. From the episode "Roll On" where the trio are blindly wandering around wearing the oil canisters. They pass by the Mill on Tanyard Road in Milnsbridge. I don't know the name of this mill. All this time I've been looking in the usual locations - New Mill, Marsden, Slaithwaite and find out that it was in Milnsbridge.

EDIT: It's Crowthers Mill

Found another location. The opening to "A Quiet Drink" where Blamire, Clegg and Compo are walking to the pub. They are walking down Fulstone Road just south of Stocksmoor. In fact, when the show starts Stocks Road just makes it off screen to the left.
