I know its Sheffield but which area?  God I remember this, I also remember one day talking to John Comer who told me they were filming it (I was a van lad at Franklins), for life of me cannot remember where though.  Not sure if it was off Fulwood Rd area or up Crookes it's a long time ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lazarus   68 #6 Posted August 3, 2012 It was filmed all over, one episode was done at the Myrtle Inn on Myrtle Rd now sadly gone, another was done up around cemetery Rd,another episode had a works outing in it and the works entrance was Chestermans on Pomona St thats still there. The cast was Liz Smith, John Comer, Robin Bailey, Bert Palmer played Uncle Stavely first then he was replaced by Leslie Sarony an old Music Hall star,Liz Goulding played Carters Fiance and Carter was played by Steven Rea who went on to stardom as a big Film star. One of the best eries I ever saw and Robin bailey played a Yorkshire man like a natural.But getting back to where it was filmed it was all over Sheffield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
