We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions.

Mona (Natalie Press) and her engineless moped. Flower Scar Road, Todmorden in West Yorkshire.
Neil looked at several possible locations for this view . with the gradient of hill, the footpath crossing the road, the general landscape and the proximity to the second capture making this his best guesstimate!

The distinctive ascending telegraph poles give this location away but Neil couldn't get the height to show the road snaking up.
