HEARTBEAT
- The best
places for filming are:
|
Goathland, for
the station, Aidensfield Arms, Scripps garage and the village stores
(Which sell lots of Heartbeat stuff, including leaflets on the locations) Greengrass's house (now Vernon's) is just out side the village on the
Pickering Road.
The North Yorkshire Railway is great, it runs from Grosmont through Goathland to Pickering and is brilliant! See their
website http://www.nymr.demon.co.uk/ for time tables etc.
Whitby
is another great place to visit, loads of Heartbeat sites through out the town.
West Cliff is used a lot, and many of the roads around the river. Look out for the huge YTV trucks which are always about if they are
filming. The beach below West Cliff was used when David took the OAP's to
the seaside, the steps near the pier were used (watch out for the tide
though it comes in really fast and you too could get stranded) Across the
bridge are the quaint old shops and the market place, the 99 steps lead up
to the abbey and church (where Phil was to propose to Gina)
The
roads around the moors are also used for Heartbeat, get yourself an OS map and
just go exploring if you can, the locations are pretty easy to spot, there
are so many of them.
They also use some places along the coast
(Anyone know where the place is by the sea with the phone box? Where Dr
Merrick was held by that woman whose granddaughter she had failed to save,
Vernon also parked there when the quarry owners boat was stolen, is it
along the Whitby to Sandsend?)
Saltburn-by-the-sea is another good location, they've used the
pier there a few times, (Mike jumped off the end of it once to save
someone, The pier has been restored since they filmed that and
is now very smart.
The police station is in Otley (Near the centre
but not sure exactly where) The police house is not far from there (Askwith) The court house is in Ripon near the Cathedral,
it is a law and order museum and the leaflet says you can stand in the
dock .There are two related museums about Police and
prisons in the town and you can get a joint ticket to visit all three.
Around 1995 they were filming a
disco scene in a hall, a seamans mission or salvation army (or
the like) building, If you walk along Pier Road, heading away from the
pier, the road forks, take the right hand road, past the fishing tackle
shop and a cafe, at the corner where the road turns a sharp left there is
a little square on the left with steps leading up from it, the building is
there. There were loads of people and one of the YTV trucks crowding the
tiny space. Mark Jordan was cracking jokes, (he has a brilliant sense of
humour)
