Hi All, I am looking into the locations of filming for A touch of frost at the moment to hopefully put together abit of a website with before and after shots of certain well used locations. At the moment I am trying to locate the location of the building used as Denton police station in the early series, i believe the possibly it was on headingley lane? could anyone confirm..?Cheers in advance

They also filmed quite a few scenes in Low Gipton crescent-I know this because we watched them filming and we all got to meet and talk to David Jason who turned out to be a thoroughly decent bloke as it goes

I think one or more episodes involved him visiting a house in one of the side roads on the right going up Queenswood Drive.
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

One episode centred on a department store - location scenes were shot inside Clover/Allders (as was) in Kirkstall - in particular the Furniture dept. I once saw David Jason with some people from YTV ( I assume)having a drink in the Cardigan Arms.

Wasn't he "Bicycle Repair Man" in 'Do Not Adjust Your Set,' a 60s forerunner of Monty Python, with Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Denise Coffey and the wonderful Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band?
