Quite where the tunnel was, I’m not sure. Like many places in the UK, Holmfirth lost its railway in the 1960s. We were, however, told at school that Holmfirth was the biggest centre of movie making before Hollywood (some local proud at work there, I fancy!).

Good question! The studio was in Holmfirth (either a town or a village depending on your definition) in West Yorkshire. Now most famous I guess at the home of Last of the Summer Wine m.youtube.com/watch?v=lENe...

Neither side is ‘about to go to war’ or, indeed be, ‘in the trenches’, they’re going to play a game with friends. Maybe let’s enjoy the passion while still being grown up enough to acknowledge that?
