welcome to harrogate - home of minispares north

Post by rich@minispares.com »

I don't think this film was the reason that minispares decided to choose Harrogate as a location for the north branch, but who knows.......

That narrator sounds like Mark F's phone voice ! :lol: In fact I've observed Mark does actually still wear some of the same jumpers on display in that film. :lol:

I though the sign board attached to the tree in the park was curious : " Enjoy Pulling' ?

That's either directed at George Michael or it's mispelt and should read "Enjoy Pudding" which is about right for Yorkshire ! :lol:

Ha, ha, another classic unearthed by Rich.

It's amazing how little a lot of the sights had changed in 40 odd years.
