The hit TV series has left its mark on those living on the fictional beat of Sgt Catherine Cawood.
Sarah Lancashire stars as Sgt Catherine Cawood in Happy Valley, which is filmed in West Yorkshire's Calder ValleyNestled at the bottom of rolling hills on the edge of West Yorkshire, the fictional TV location known as Happy Valley has had a real impact on the people and places where it was filmed. Ahead of an explosive final episode, we walked Sgt Catherine Cawood's beat, speaking to the people who call it home.
As we chat, a small crowd of waterproof-clad walkers gather at the window of Peter David Properties, peering in at what's for sale. As she huddles under the bus shelter waiting for the 590 service towards Halifax, she tells me she's "loved" the series, and it's been even more special because it was filmed on her doorstep.Production companies picking the area for filming is no surprise and millions of people seeing the stunning scenery of the Calder Valley is good for the town, Lisa says.
Next door to Daniel's premises is the Nisa store, where Happy Valley character Neil Ackroyd, played by Con O'Neill, works in the TV series. He says the shop was closed for hours while a couple of scenes were filmed involving Neil and Catherine. The chance to temporarily transform her family's home into a star of the small screen came after a letter from the production company behind Happy Valley landed on Sally's doormat.
He adds that people from as far afield as America make the trip to see places like Shibden Hall in nearby Halifax, where much of Gentleman Jack was filmed.
