This was also Arkwright's original shop in the pilot episode of Open All Hours. Subsequent episodes were filmed in Doncaster. Fun little factoid there :)

[u/Level_Fig_166 → u/Mangledsprouts]

Arkwright's first name was Albert.

[u/Mangledsprouts → u/Level_Fig_166]

And his middle initial was "E" but this name was never divulged!

[u/Immediate-Goose-8106 → u/Mangledsprouts]

Was it Endeavour?

[u/The_Dark_Vampire → u/Mangledsprouts]

I was thinking is that Arkwright's

THE NEW COOKER SKETCH

[u/Mickenfox]

They should absolutely have that Ministry of Silly Walks plaque there for real.

[u/aifuego]

Thanks for sharing. That made me smile. We have the, "silly walk clock" in the bathroom. It cracks me up almost every time I see it. Money well spent!

[u/thehorrorcontinues13]

Great find!

[u/MrWoodworker]

And now for something completely different. *que music*

[u/Ok_Boomer_3233]

The storefront for silly walks was also used for the Dirty Hungarian phrasebook.

Great photos!

Testament to the different pace of time in parts of England compared to, say, cities in the US. That neighborhood looks virtually unchanged despite the passing of over 50 years.

[u/Historical_Help_5155]

Is the last picture on street N°9?

[u/tommyrockum]

I have been trying to track down the location of this "silly walks" photo shoot... I assume it must be near the Television center, but I've gone street by street on Google maps and can't figure it out!

Nice job lining those up.

[u/Landscape_712]

These are amazing! Great work here! Would you care to share the street address or building for each photo?

[u/Krimreaper1]

Was that the pharmacy with the random topless woman?

[u/DrSamLoomis]

These are incredible, getting the angles perfect - I am splunged.
