Happy Valley

Murray, who does our Mega-Monday-Cargo-Bike-Runs lives in Catherine Cawood’s house in Hebden Bridge. 

Really, it’s Murray’s house and he rented it out for the filming of the smash hit TV series. Here are some pictures below to prove it.

Murray had to move out for a couple of months while they decorated his place in the perfect canal boat meets opium den Hebden style. After filming it was all decorated back to how it was before. Murray was keen to point out that he doesn’t have a bordello burgundy colour-way in his bedroom.

Apparently Sarah Lancashire, the fantastic actor who plays the lead character, didn’t leave any dirty tea cups or fag butts in his garden. Shame.

“Right get those orders to the post office, this is Hebden not Hollywood.”

‘Happy Valley’ is now an even more famous nickname for Calderdale than ‘Trouser Town’ once was. One thing for sure is that this is the valley of the comeback.

Amazingly Murray has also lived in houses that featured in Nicholas Nickleby and THE WICKER MAN. Maybe next he’ll move into the Back to the Future house.

Andy our warehouse manager likes to keep our feet on the ground. His parting words to Murray were, “Right get those orders to the post office, this is Hebden not Hollywood.”
