Yootha Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Now that this wonderful series has been released on video, I thought it would be interesting to discover where in Sheffield the exterior shots (of which there are many) were filmed. Elsewhere on this forum Myrtle Road, Pomona Street, Frog Walk and the General Cemetary have been mentioned and watching the series itself there are scenes shot on Meadow Terrace and Hickmott Road in Sharrow Vale. In another scene I also think I recognise Huntley Road off High Storrs Road. It would be great if anyone out there could give up any more details, and some anecdotal evidence would be even better!

Yootha Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I wonder if that's how Carter Brandon got to be named? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeper Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Some of the filming was in the allotments just off Bannerdale Road. I remember a railway carriage - would that fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 i believe Peter Tinniswood (?) set uncle mort and his family in the carterknowle area as that's where he lived when in Sheffield.. You're right PT. They used the house where he used to live. The present owner is a friend of mine, and she was there when the filming was done.

This is great news! I've often wondered about that railway carriage - did they bring it in for filming or was it always there? I used to like the way Uncle Mort would hoist up the Union Jack before entering for his cuppa, showing that he was "in residence" ! Thanks.
