Yes. This may just be me but I always found visually, the "Arncliffe" days of the show better than the Esholt days as the Arncliffe end of Beckindale was more picturesque. And the first Woolpack was brilliant as it had a few nooks and crannies. When they moved to the 2nd pub in 1976 it looked more like a "coronation Street" pub than a rural pub. Obvs the producers wanted a village closer to the Leeds studios but they always said Esholt was not Dales like, so when they built the Harewood set, they could make it look like a Dales village again. In 1998 the village regained its picturesque feel it had been missing since Jan 1976.
