S1 Last Tango In Halifax :: General Filming Locations

Maybe your like

I loved this series and it’s fantastic that a third has been commissioned.

Although based in Yorkshire, many of the filming locations for Series 1 were around Manchester, probably because Red Production Company is based on Quay Street in the city centre.

Here are some of the main locations I managed to identify… there are more on the Skipton post.

At the very beginning Caroline, Celia and William have coffee in Manchester Town Hall, in the Sculpture Hall Café: Evernote Camera Roll 20130127 000845

SculptureHall Gillian works at Greenhough’s supermarket – there’s her red Land Rover: Evernote Camera Roll 20130127 000949

It’s the Marsden Co-operative store, in West Yorkshire: marsden-cooperative

Caroline is Headteacher of Sulgrave Heath Independent School – that’s her black 4×4 pulling in: Evernote Camera Roll 20130127 000900

…in reality it’s Bolton School in Lancashire. Bolton_School_Quad

It’s been ultra difficult to identify Gillian’s ‘Ripponden’ farm but I’ve found it – you saw it here first! Shots from the programme: Screen shot 2013-01-30 at 00.05.51

It’s Knowl Farm in Greater Manchester, located north west of Rochdale (near Scout Moor wind farm) off the A680 Edenfield Road.

Here’s the view looking south from the farmhouse: farm 1

Caroline’s house isn’t in Harrogate. Here’s Alan pulling onto the drive in the red Lexus convertible: Caroline's House

It’s a Victorian semi near the corner of St Johns Road and Delamer Road in Altrincham, Cheshire – here on Google Street View: Screen shot 2013-01-29 at 20.00.33
