Last of the Summer Wine: TV series running from 1973 – 2010 about older people in a Yorkshire village. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069602/ and here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/lastofthesummerwine/ Filmed around Holmfirth and it’s surrounds.
Yorkshire coal mines- the coal mining industry was huge in the county of Yorkshire, providing jobs, and in some cases housing for the miners and their families. The industry was nationalised in 1946, and in 1984 the simmering resentment about rates of pay came to a head in a year long strike. Between 1985 and 2015 every pit was shut down, leading to a huge rise in unemployment and anger across the county. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/once-thriving-language-of-the-pits-being-revived-in-yorkshire-coal-mining-exhibition-1-7724590
