Aunty Wainrights in Last of the Summer Wine. Anyone know what she sells in her s!
Question: There's an "Auntie Wainwright" shop near me in Preston a few years now at least which sells bric-a-brac and junk basically - or 'antiques' if you were being kind. I'm not sure which came first though - they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I'm surprised the lawyers haven't been in. That's all the BBCs version is supposed to sell as well. They film LOTSW in Holmfirth in West Yorks, but I doubt the location is really used for that purpose. I think they even closed the cafe in the end because of all the tourists wandering the place in search of landmarks from the show. I've never actually been there. I guess the success of the show is both a curse as well as a blessing for the locals. I can't say I'd be keen of busloads of tourists disgorging their passengers every day and coming to my front door because it was once used as the location for Nora Batty's house!!

Yes they are stage props. Must be one hell of a job to shift it all after the series of shoots.
its a junk shop basically and no its just a set for the programme
Flying ducks, Stan's old Ogden shirts and a lovely muriel of mountains.
