ADJACENT TO THE RIVER HOLME
Positioned adjacent to the river Holme in the centre of the small town of Holmfirth, The Old Bridge Hotel is a recent conversion of a private gentlemen's residence, part of which dates back to the early 1700s and it now consists of Bar Lounges with exposed oak beams and open fire, famous for its cask beers, malt whiskeys and generously portioned meals.

A function room seating 80, with a range of menus to cater for all occasions using local fresh produce and cooked to order.

SUMMER WINE FAME
Holmfirth is renowned as the original location for filming "Last of the Summer Wine" the world's longest running comedy series. There is a Summer Wine Museum, and shops selling memorabilia, only a short distance from our hotel in Holmfirth.

Don't be surprised if you bump into familiar faces while staying at the Old Bridge. Some of the cast and crew of the Last of the Summer Wine - including Tom Owen - like to stay at the hotel during filming.

Bamforths
Holmfirth's links with the film industry go much further back than this however. A local firm, Bamforths, were making films in this area before the First World War, long before Hollywood.

POSTCARD MUSEUM
This same firm were also responsible for printing most of the "Saucy" Picture Postcards that you used to find at the Seaside during annual holidays.

These are now much sought after by collectors and there is a popular Picture Postcard Museum in the local cinema, built originally by Bamforths to show their films.
