Nora Batty's Steps
Holmfirth is probably best-known from its association with the BBC’s longest running comedy series ‘The Last of the Summer Wine’ which was broadcast from 1973 to 2010. The external scenes for the show were filmed in Holmfirth and its surrounding area and each year, tourists visit the area to see the locations associated with the show.
These steps arise from the arrangement of ‘over and under’ dwellings and, unusually, access to both dwellings is on the same side of the building. The steps lead to the fictional homes of ‘Compo Simmonite’ (Played by actor Bill Owen) and ‘Wally and Nora Batty’ (Played by Joe Gladwin and Kathy Staff). In real life they are a holiday cottage and an exhibition about the series. The steps featured regularly in the series; usually with Nora on the upper level using a broom to repel the advances of Compo, on the lower level.
Fans of the show will understand why the tea rooms have been named “the Wrinkled Stocking.
