Holmfirth

The town of Holmfirth has achieved fame as the centre of "Last of the Summer Wine" country.

Visitors flock here every year to follow the footsteps of Compo, Clegg and Foggy visiting Sid's Cafe and the "Wrinkled Stocking Tea Room" in Compo's bedroom below Nora Batty's steps.

Holmfirth itself is an attractive town of steep, narrow alleys, cobbled lanes, weavers' cottages and handsome old mills. It sits at the confluence of the Holme and the Ribble, the cotton mills crowding the riverside.

The river Holme bursts its banks when the Pennine snows melt too quickly and Holmfirth has witnessed three devestating floods. The 18thC Holy Trinity Church was rebuilt after the 1777 flood as an attractive Georgian "preaching Box" with galleries on 3 sides and painted blue and white.
