Life in a Northern Town

[rj_anderson]

For anyone who hasn't already seen it, junediamanti has written a brilliant essay on the location of Spinner's End. Not only does it come with pictures (one of which, supplied by julian_black in comments, is positively delicious -- Fred?!) but the comments are hysterical, especially this exchange between junediamanti and tapedeck. (And for those few left scratching their heads and wondering what the joke is about, here's the sketch they're referring to.)

Ooo!

I immediately thought of the mill towns (okay, I immediately squealed like a fangirl and yelled "textile mill! textile mill!" because I am a textile mill geek), but hadn't thought to track down any one in particular.

"Luxury!" *dies*

Since Rickman was in the 're-make' of the Four Yorkshiremen sketch for the Amnesty International event "We Know Where You Live", that is all especially appropriate.

Uncle Fred. Bahaha.

That second pic is just perfect, isn't it? Thanks for recommending this.
