I hope you feel better soon, Terry. Many thanks to you, Tony, and the other admins for creating the site and keeping it functioning well.

Sorry, but nope. That one's on Giles Street in Netherthong. Before you ask, I haven't been there (yet). I just spend way too much time in Google Maps Streetview.

Wow! I recognized the Wooldale Co-op from hanging out in the Holmfirth History Facebook group, but never connected it with Charlie's shop. You learn something new every day.

Unusual!

He's best consigned to the dustbin of history.

Is it captioned for deaf and hard of hearing viewers?

Through November of 2019, I visited England, usually with a stay in Holmfirth, annually for about 30 years. Then there was the pandemic. After that, a couple of muscles pulled themselves loose from their insertions and had to be surgically reattached (still rehabbing from that one). Then kidney...

Some of the bars simply have new names, and probably new ownership. And the owners of O'Brien's on Huddersfield Road carefully restored the building to the original butchers shop appearence. I'd like to see fewer bars, since I don't drink, and more retail shops where one can restock routine...

The local Friends of the Library are soliciting donations of vinyl records for their next semi-annual book sale. For years, they didn't accept vinyl because they couldn't give it away.

Haven't been there yet. I'd be lodging at Thorns Hall in Sedbergh, and there's no bus service to Hawes from there.

Wow! I had no idea. Did you know the world’s most popular snack, the potato chip, was born out of frustration? The tale begins in 1853 in Saratoga Springs, New York, at the Moon's Lake House, where George Crum, a brilliant chef of African American and Native American descent, was making a name...

The only thing missing is handrails for the entrance steps.

I replaced nearly all of my vinyl with CDs. Until I lost the ability to hear music, my favorite was the entire Kingston Trio's output, closely followed by Judy Collins, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul and Mary. I still have a few locally produced vinyl LPs and an old Radio Shack turntable.

One of the Amazon reviews said that the 20-30 minutes required to open the tin counteracted the convenience of buying a ready-made pie.

Was is rideable?

For polishing, or as a finish remover?

Do you carry a Shinyglow sign with you when you visit Holmfirth?

I haven't had potato chips (crisps) since last winter, when I was in a nursing home for three months after a kidney infection and sepsis, and had no choice about the menus. When they served a ham and Swiss sandwich for lunch, the saltiness of the crisps that were served with them, that I crushed...

It was a 7th birthday gift. I rode it until I grew too tall for the frame. Then my parents sold it to a younger, shorter neighbor, and acquired my taller cousin's well-used bike for me to ride.

After his wife posted this, my nephew commented, "Why does this remind me of a human in a bird costume?"
