Anyone remember Brookie?

 

Apparently after years of neglect, the houses in the "set" now have been refurbished and real people living in them. No doubt annoyed by Brookside fans going up and having their picture taken.

Oh yeah used to love Brookside.

 

Saw some photos of the close a few years back it was in a terrible state. Look all new and shiny now. I believe Number 10 went for the most cash! :lol:

Yes....

 

The village is now famous as the setting of the fictional village of Aidensfield in the Heartbeat television series set in the 1960s. Fans of Heartbeat will not be disappointed by a visit to fictional Aidensfield, as many of the series landmarks are recognisable, including the stores, garage/funeral directors, the public house and the railway station. In reality the pub is called the Goathland Hotel, but in the series is the Aidensfield Arms. After filming for some years in the real pub, a precise replica (complete to the morris dancers' "swords" on the wall) was built in the studio. It has often been possible to see the stars of the show as filming for the series occurred throughout the week.

Some other regular settings in the series are located outside of the village. The police house can be found about 70 miles away in the small village of Askwith near Ilkley and the police station can be found in the town of Otley. This was a real police station in past years. It was announced in New Year 2009 that filming of Heartbeat episodes would cease, with no date given for starting again. A petition of protest is being compiled by the owners of the local Post Office.

Smashing theme song!

 

 

I remember going to the Granada Studios tour in Manchester - and seeing the Coronation Street set, as well as Baker Street and stuff. They closed that quite a few years back.

 

They're building a new Corres set over in Trafford. Wonder what they'll do with the current set.
