More about this scene
What a wonderful mish-mash of buildings are captured on camera here. Some are grand, others less so, but regardless of size or style they blend perfectly because they are made from the same rosy-hued local stone. Just outside the town stands Bliss Tweed Mills, built by George Woodhouse in 1872, whose thriving clothing business provided 700 jobs. The mill, topped by a soaring chimney stack, closed in 1981 and has since been converted into housing.
