These are some images from the area in which I live, Holmfirth and the Holme Valley, West Yorkhsire, UK. The area is the location for the popular BBC TV series “Last of the Summer Wine” and centres mainly around the town of Holmfirth. These pictures reflect the reality of the area, which is a pleasing contrast of both rural and urban locations set in or near the Peak District National Park. I enjoy the cultural aspects of the area, showcasing a interesting mix of youth and alternative cultural aspects, as well as the annual Holmfirth Music Festival. I also find interest in the normal day to day aspects of the area which, in contrast to the BBC images of three men flying downhill in a bathtub, document the daily routines of life in the area. Living high in the Peak District we are subject to varied and often interesting weather, with mists common during the autumn and winter months. The images are from Holmfirth, Honley, Hade Edge and other locations within the Holme Valley. So, is this what you were expecting from Last of The Summer Wine country, or are you already familiar with the area?

Any of the images here can be used freely for personal or educational uses, although if published, please credit this site.

I am an amateur photographer who is looking to practise and sharpen my skills and I would be more than happy to undertake any assignments free of charge (except for basic travel costs) but I would like the pictures to be credited to me.
