What appears on screen
Series 3 takes Lyle back to Stockport for the allotment dispute involving his family. Location references report that King’s Lynn and Halifax were used as doubles for the story. King’s Lynn is in Norfolk; Halifax is in West Yorkshire.
The place beyond the programme
King’s Lynn is a historic port town in west Norfolk, while Halifax is a separate town in West Yorkshire. Their different streets can serve a shared fictional setting through editing, just as Norfolk locations combine to form Market Shipborough. Visitors should use this page as a guide to the King’s Lynn part of the Stockport story and plan a Halifax visit separately, using its own local visitor information.
What to see today
In King’s Lynn, explore the public historic centre and waterfront as part of the town’s own story. Visit West Norfolk provides current visitor information. Halifax has its own heritage sites and services, covered by Visit Calderdale. The episode link is a reason to notice how screen geography works, not a reason to expect the real towns to resemble one another or to contain a single continuous route.
Getting there and parking
King’s Lynn and Halifax are far apart and belong to different regional journeys. Check rail, bus and road information separately with the relevant transport operators. Do not plan to move between them as if they were neighbouring scenes or a Norfolk day-trip loop. Use official local parking information for whichever town you visit and confirm current restrictions before travel.

Where to eat
Both towns have independent food businesses and public venues; choose a stop based on the town and route you are actually visiting. Check opening, menus and accessibility directly. The connection between these places belongs to the allotment storyline.
Where to stay
Choose accommodation in King’s Lynn for a west Norfolk visit or in Halifax for a West Yorkshire visit. Use official tourism directories for current options and confirm details with providers. If your interest is the allotment storyline, the two real places should be treated as separate city breaks, with travel planned independently. Browse Visit Norfolk ↗
Accessibility
Access varies by venue and street in both towns. Confirm step-free routes, parking and facilities through the relevant tourism body, council or attraction. The location identification does not define an accessible path between screen scenes, and the towns are not one connected visitor site.
Episode connections
Two real towns, one fictional dispute
The allotment storyline is about Lyle’s return to his family roots and the effort to protect a community space. Its production geography brings King’s Lynn and Halifax into the same fictional Stockport. The distinction between the two real places is useful for visitors: King’s Lynn belongs on a Norfolk itinerary, while Halifax is a separate West Yorkshire visit. The series can join them through editing; a travel plan should keep them apart and give each town its own time and context.
